How to make Pastilla

Ingredients we need

1 kilo of Pastilla leaves

1 kilo of shrimp

1 kilo of squid

1 and a half kilos of fish

350 grams of soft mushrooms

3 onions cut into small squares

Fish marinade

{fish, shrimp and squid}

A bunch of parsley + 5 cloves of garlic + salt

1 teaspoon of black pepper

1 teaspoon of paprika

2 teaspoons of hot pepper

1 tablespoon of light soy sauce

200 grams of melted animal butter.

Vermicelli marinade

1 tablespoon of fresh ginger or a teaspoon of ginger powder

2 tablespoons of soy sauce

For greasing Pastilla {100 grams of butter + egg white}

Method

اMix the ingredients for the fish marinade and divide them into four parts:

Mix one part for the fish marinade, the second for the shrimp, the third for the squid and keep the rest.

Then take the vermicelli and boil it a little in hot water, salt and soy sauce. Drain it, cut it and set it aside.

We bring a frying pan and put oil in it and stir the onions. We wait until it wilts, add the chopped mushrooms and soft ginger and stir and add the broth that we strained from the seafood, then add the vermicelli and two tablespoons of soy sauce and stir well until the mixture is completely dry and finally taste it to see if it needs salt or not.

After cooking all the ingredients, we take a large plate and put in it the mixture of shrimp + squid + vermicelli with onions and mushrooms. Mix everything and add a tablespoon of lemon juice and parsley and stir well.

In a round baking tray greased with butter, place two sheets of pastilla, one on each side.

- Put the mixture in the middle and brush the sides with butter and egg whites, then put it on the filling. After gathering the sides, put another sheet in the middle and four on the sides again, then gather the edges so that the filling does not come out. - Brush it with a little melted butter and pierce it with a toothpick so that it does not puff up when cooking. - Put it in the oven at 180 degrees for an hour and 45 minutes or until it is cooked and browned as shown in the picture. Decorate it with shrimp and serve it hot.

I hope you like it.
