  • 125g almond powder
  • 500 g chopped onions
  • 4 hard boiled eggs
  • 100 g butter
  • One tablespoon, then half a glass of powdered sugar
  • The equivalent of a glass of chopped fresh coriander
  • A teaspoon of cinnamon
  • A teaspoon of pepper
  • A pinch of saffron

The Pastilla

  • 500g of pastilla leaves (brick leaves)
  • 50g butter
  • Two beaten eggs
  • Ice and cinnamon powder sugar

The filling

In a casserole, melt the onions in the butter. Add the chicken. Let cook over medium heat for 15 minutes. Add the chopped coriander, the cinnamon, the saffron and the spoon of powdered sugar. Add half a glass of water, cover and cook over low heat.
Add water if necessary regularly to wet the bottom of the casserole. After cooking, remove the chicken. Leave the casserole on the fire until the remaining moisture evaporates. The stuffing must not be moist so as not to soak the dough. Then book. Cut chicken into small pieces 1 cm long and set aside.
In a bowl, mix the almond powder and the half glass of powdered sugar. In a bowl, cut the hard-boiled eggs into small pieces.

The Pastilla

Preheat your oven to 150 ° C. Use a buttered pie dish to make the pastilla. Lay the brick sheets together so that they go around the pie plate, half over the outside. Place in the center 4 or 5 sheets. Fill the pastilla alternating on the central surface: A layer of sauce background, a few pieces of chicken, a little powder of sweet almonds and some pieces of hard egg. Cover the pastilla by placing on it sheets of dough, then closing with the circular leaves that protrude. Close it while brushing the leaves with soft butter and beaten eggs. Place the pastilla thus made on the baking sheet previously coated with parchment paper.
Bake. At the end of 15mn, remove the baking sheet from the oven, turn the pastilla, and bake again for 10 to 15mn. La Pastilla is ready when the paste has a beautiful golden color.

Decoration

Start by sprinkling icing sugar on top of each pastilla. Then, using a stencil, draw a "grid" of cinnamon powder.
