Sweet Chicken Pastilla

1: Start by boiling your chicken thighs until just cooked through. Pull apart using 2 forks.

2: Heat 2 tbsp oil in a pan. Fry onions until brown. Remove from heat.

3: In a mini processor, crush almonds until desired consistency.

4: In a mixing bowl, combine fried onion, pulled chicken, and crushed almonds. Add parsley, sugar, cinnamon, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Mix to combine.

5: Begin filling wrappers: lay your wrapper with one corner facing you. Place 2 tbsp of filling close to the bottom corner to shape a thick log. Wet all corners using water. Start folding the right side inwards, then the left side on top. Finally, roll from the bottom corner with the filling until the top corner. Repeat.

6: Freeze the pastilla until ready to use. AT THIS POINT YOU CAN STOP AND FREEZE ON A TRAY (then transfer to a ziploc bag) THEN RESUME TO FRY WHENEVER YOU ARE READY.

7: To fry: heat about 1.5 inches of oil in a pot. Fry pastilla straight from the freezer on both sides until golden.

8: Sprinkle with icing sugar and dig in!
