How to make it
- Preparation is the key. It can all happen at the same time, and then you just tie it all together.
- VEGETABLES
- Pre-heat a baking tin, well oiled, in an oven at around 200 degrees C.
- Take the Peppers, Courgettes and Onions and very roughly slice them.
- Put them in t backing tin along with two of the unskinned garlic cloves, and toss in the hot oil.
- Roast for around 30 mins, or until cooked.
- Remove, and leave on the side, separating the Garlic.
- 'Skin' the garlic and crush.
- CHICKEN
- Slice the chicken breasts and marinade with the garlic, ginger, chilli, Turmeric, Paprika, Honey, Lemon juice and a good slug of oil. Needs at least a 1/2 hour, but you could leave over-night.
- Heat a pan over a medium heat, and add the entire marinade (with chicken). Leave until cooked, and stir occasionally.
- Remove, and leave on the side.
- COUSCOUS
- Make following instructions, but include the Tomato Paste and the crushed roasted garlic.
- THE DISH.
- Preheat an over to 200 degress C.
- In an oven-ready oiled metal container/pan, place a layer of filo pastry in the bottom.
- Add the chicken to make a fairly smooth layer 1-2 cm thick, then cover with another layer of filo pastry.
- Use melted butter to stick the layers, leaving the excess filo pastry hanging over the edge of the pan.
- Repeat 18&19 for the next layer with the roasted vegetables.
- Repeat 18&19 for the next layer with the Couscous.
- If you have anything left over, add more layers.
- When finished, fold all the filo pastry hanging over the edges back towards the centre of the pan. Paint well with the melted butter.
- Oil/Butter a baking tray, and tip the Pastilla from the pan onto the tray. Cook in the oven for 20 mins or so until the pastry is crisp.
- Remove from oven, dust with Cinamon, and serve immediately. Serve with a Cos and Almond salad (with a little oil, lemon, onion slice and pine nut dressing).
