This sugar-dusted pastry may look like a dessert, but surprise! It’s a savoury pie. The must-try of Morocco’s cuisine, pastilla is traditionally served as a main-course dish on special occasions. Just one bite and you’ll know why this flaky parcel is a gift that keeps on giving: Turkey, apricots, slivered almonds and a warm blend of spices (cinnamon, cardamom and ginger) are delicately folded into pastry and pan-fried to perfection. Whether served as a light meal or with a pre-dinner glass of wine, this complex, crazily addictive dish will have you hankering for more.
