This Bastilla is the stuff of dreams – or at least, founder Lily's dreams. After tasting her first bastilla more than ten years ago in Marrakesh, she couldn't get it out of her mind. Traditionally, bastilla is a sweet-savory Moroccan dish often made with pigeon (really) and finished with powdered sugar (really). We took the concept and gave it our own twist – fully plantbased and with a hint of sweetness thanks to Belgian sirope de Liège.
Inside the crisp filo crust, you’ll find a golden, generous mix of caramelised vegetables: sweet potato, cauliflower, carrot, and hispi cabbage. They’re infused with warming spices, lifted with a splash of lemon juice, and contrasted with crunchy toasted pine nuts and almond flakes. Each bite is rich, comforting, and a little luxurious.
Serve it hot or at room temperature, paired with couscous, a zesty salad or as part of a larger Middle Eastern-inspired table. It’s a dish to impress – and a delight to devour.
