Pastilla is a traditional dish from the Maghreb. It consists of a type of puff pastry filled with onions and pigeon (or chicken, guinea fowl, and, more recently, seafood). It is often served at celebrations, just before the main course. The recipe presented here is inspired by this traditional dish, while adding a few original touches.

Pastilla de dinde : instructions
- 1Cut the turkey into thin strips and marinate it in lemon juice and raz el hanout for 1 hour.
- 2To make the green curry: Cut the onion into large pieces, peel the garlic, and remove the germ. Coarsely chop the cilantro, then blend everything together with the lime juice and a drizzle of olive oil.
- 3In a deep skillet (or a saucepan if you don't have one), heat the coconut milk, then add the green curry paste. Bring to a simmer, then add the turkey pieces and the bouillon cube. Let it simmer for 40 minutes over low heat.
- 4While the turkey is roasting, cut the carrots and zucchini into thin strips. Then heat a wok or skillet with olive oil, sauté the carrots for 5 minutes, and then add the zucchini.
- 5Season with salt and pepper and add cumin to taste. When the vegetables are cooked but still slightly crisp, remove them and let them cool.
- 6To assemble the pastilla, place the phyllo dough in the bottom of the casserole dish or baking dish, then fill it with turkey and vegetables (for the baking dish, layer the ingredients like you would for lasagna, covering the top with phyllo dough), and fold the edges over to form a rim on top.
- 7Brush the top with a little melted butter and bake in a preheated oven at 180°C.
- 88 minutes later, once the dough has browned, all that’s left to do is enjoy it!!!
