Exactly what i was going to write .. Where is the egg sauce layer and the grilled almond paste layer ..

[@SalmaRouyett]

Moroccan Pastilla is a little harder to make but glad he made it easier for those who just cant bother with the hundred of different spices we put in it lol! Of course every spice makes it different and unique that when you taste Moroccan Patilla you love it but you just can't tell what's in it. Glad I'm seeing more Moroccan stuff here. :)

[@woIfcub61]

I just made this for myself and my housemates and it was absolutely delicious. First 'family dinner' we've had in a long time and I think this dish just re-introduced the tradition. Such a great recipe.

[@dgallo4384]

🎯 Key Takeaways for quick navigation: 00:00 🧅 *Fry onions and ginger with cinnamon and sugar for a subtly sweet flavor, then add seasoned chopped cooked chicken thighs.* 00:14 🍲 *Pour chicken stock into the onion mixture, simmer, and stir in lightly beaten eggs to thicken the sauce.* 00:24 🌰 *Mix in sliced almonds and set aside the filling to cool for the pastilla.* 00:38 🥧 *Layer sheets of phyllo pastry, brushed with melted butter, in a greased baking tin before adding the chicken filling.* 00:58 🧈 *Add more buttered phyllo sheets, then fold over the draped sides and brush with butter before baking.* [01:10](www.youtube.com/watch?v=uZDXFZ6L Made with HARPA AI

[@fayhares]

This is very authentic except that we assemble it in layers. We cook the chicken with the onions, we remove them, we keep the sauce and then add the eggs to that sauce, we boil the almonds and grind them with sugar, butter and orange blossom, then it is a sheet of pastilla, a layer of chicken, another pastry sheet, a layer of eggs, another sheet, the final layer of almonds and then we cover the whole thing. When you slice you can see the different layers, it is so so good.

[@keigisa]

Perhaps you should post cooking videos! :D

[@fayhares]

I was about to start a cooking channel or a blog, but I don't have the right equipment and the right lighting, after I decided on the blog and started writing my recipes I got employed and I didn't have enough time, either I do something with high quality that needs all my time and focus or I don't :D

[@ILoveBurgerzz]

Definition of a chef "the chief cook, especially in a restaurant or hotel, usually responsible for planning menus, ordering foodstuffs, overseeing food preparation, and supervising the kitchen staff." he does not work in a restaurant therefore he isn't a chef.

[@Nobleshield]

This looks absolutely amazing. I've never tried Moroccan food but this looks really good.

[@moment8505]

Noo don't try his recipe it's disastrous just look for a moroccan chef making chicken bastilla

[@antipro4483]

​@@moment8505there are just 3 small things you could complain about. And 2 of those are just to make it easier. He could use more spices, but most people don't have saffron and ras el hanut and so on. And he could have made the filo pastry by hand, but no one actually does this anymore.

[@moment8505]

@@antipro4483 it is not about spices or filo, he did not respect the recipe, after you cook chicken with onions and spices, you take the chicken away from the pot and add eggs to the onion sauce, and stir it until it is dry. For almonds it's important to toast it or fry it and mix it with a bit of sugar and cinnamon, this missed technique boost the dish to the next level, you can use filo ofc and whatever spices you want since it's not hot spices. golden Ramsay recipe is just a mush it lack technique, texture, and flavor.

[@antipro4483]

@@moment8505 i agree with the taking the chicken away and adding it later. But the almond step isn't really necessary in my opinion. If you add the right spices in the first place, toasting the almonds with spices won't make much difference. The mostly add texture and the nutty flavour

[@jenifersanchez5328]

My boyfriend just made this. “To die for”. Absolutely delicious, we did miss a side of salad to balance it and he said he’d add a drizzle of honey next time.
