vegetarian bisteeya
Vegan Cooking and Lifestyle. Vegan Moroccan Bisteeya (aka Bastilla or Pastilla) This recipe comes from the March/April 2012 issue of VegNews magazine. I could not find an online link for it though. Bisteeya is also called Bastilla or Pastilla, and is a favorite Berber dish from Morocco, served at the beginning of special meals. Itâs often made from pigeon, chicken, eggs and chicken fat (yuck).
Vegetarian Bastilla. I can remember the first time I tried Bastilla. The combination of savory, sweet and cinnamon was unforgettable. It instantly became is one of our favorite Moroccan dishes. But because it is traditionally made with pigeon (chicken in the America), it's been a long time since we've had it.
