  • About

B’Stillah, also known as La Pastilla, is a great dish of the Moroccan kitchen, a feast dish for special occasions. It is believed that Jews brought the dish to Morocco from Andalucia. Today it is also popular in Paris, as Moroccan Jews brought it with them from North Africa. It is especially appreciated at wedding feasts.

Ingredients

  • 3 pigeons
  • 50 g/2 oz/4 tbsp

  1. Wash the pigeons and place in a pan with the oil, onion, cinnamon stick, saffron, ginger, coriander, parsley and turmeric. Season with salt and pepper.
