Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C) and lightly grease a pie dish.

  2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, and sauté until softened and fragrant.

  3. Add the diced bell pepper, zucchini, and eggplant to the skillet. Cook until the vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally.

  4. Sprinkle the ground cumin, cinnamon, ginger, salt, and pepper over the vegetables. Stir well to combine and let the spices toast for a minute.

  5. Remove the skillet from the heat and stir in the chopped parsley, almonds, and golden raisins. Set the mixture aside to cool slightly.

  6. Carefully unwrap the phyllo pastry sheets and cover them with a damp towel to prevent them from drying out.

  7. Place one sheet of phyllo pastry into the prepared pie dish, making sure to brush it lightly with olive oil. Repeat this step with 5 more sheets, arranging them in a star shape with the edges hanging over the sides of the dish.

  8. Spoon the vegetable mixture into the center of the phyllo pastry in the pie dish, spreading it evenly.

  9. Fold the overhanging phyllo pastry sheets over the filling to encase it, making a rustic pie shape.

  10. Brush the top of the pie with olive oil and bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, or until the pastry is golden and crisp.

  11. Remove the pie from the oven and allow it to cool slightly before serving.

  12. To finish, dust the Vegetarian Bstilla Moroccan Pie with powdered sugar for a touch of sweetness.
