1. Cook the Chicken and Egg Filling<\/strong><\/p>\n In a pressure cooker, saut\u00e9 onions in a bit of oil. Add the sliced chicken, coriander, and parsley, mixing thoroughly. Season with salt, pepper, cumin, ginger, mixed herbs, and a little water (about 100 ml). Let it cook for 15 to 20 minutes, allowing the mixture to reduce uncovered for a few minutes. Beat the eggs and stir them into the mixture while the heat is still on. Once fully mixed, turn off the heat and let the filling cool.<\/p>\n 2. Brush the Brick Sheets with Melted Butter<\/strong><\/p>\n Prepare a bowl of melted butter, a separate bowl of crushed toasted almonds, and your brick sheets ready for assembly. Using a brush, evenly coat the entire surface of the first brick sheet with melted butter.<\/p>\n 3. Add Filling and Almonds to the Center<\/strong><\/p>\n Place a tablespoon of crushed almonds in the center, then add the chicken filling on top.<\/p>\n 4. Fold and Layer the Pastillas<\/strong><\/p>\n Seal the sheet to form a hexagon shape. Take a second brick sheet, brush it with butter, and place the first filled pastilla (folded side down) onto the second sheet.<\/p>\n 5. Bake and Garnish with Powdered Sugar and Cinnamon<\/strong><\/p>\n Add a small handful of toasted almonds on top. Fold as before, placing the sealed side down in a tart pan without any added fat. Repeat with the remaining sheets. Bake in a preheated oven at 180\u00b0C (356\u00b0F) until golden. Once baked, allow to cool slightly and then garnish with powdered sugar, cinnamon, and more toasted almonds.<\/p>\n Enjoy the delightful mix of flavors and textures in this traditional Moroccan favorite, perfect for any festive occasion!<\/p>\n\n\n
