B'stilla is a traditional Moroccan pastry that is made with a combination of sweet and savory ingredients. It is a multi-layered pie that is often served as a main course or appetizer during special occasions, such as weddings or religious holidays. The dish is traditionally made with pigeon meat, but chicken or beef can be used as well. The chicken is typically poached and then combined with eggs and spices, such as cinnamon. The dish is then baked with layers of thin phyllo pastry, until it is golden and crispy. Once out of the oven, it is dusted with powdered sugar and cinnamon. The result is a delicacy that is flavorful and aromatic, with a unique combination of textures and flavors.
