Bisteeya Preparation

Poach chicken and the next 7 ingredients in 1 quart of water until tender, about 1 hour, and let it cool. Toast the almonds until lightly brown, then chop finely. Mix the almonds with the granulated sugar. Drain the chicken, reserving the broth, remove the bones and shred the meat. Pre-heat the oven to 350 degrees. Beat 12 eggs well. Adds the eggs to the slowly boiling broth, stirring. Simmer the eggs, stirring, for 10 minutes and then remove them with a skimmer and let them drain and cool. Mix together the shredded meat and the cooked eggs. Moisten with broth if mixture is too dry. Brush a leaf of filo pastry with melted butter and top it with another leaf. Brush another filo leaf with butter, place a fourth leaf on top and brush it with butter. Center the second pair of filo leaves on a small pie or cake pan, spoon 1 1/2 tablespoons of the almond mixture in the center and spread it out into a circle about 3-inches in diameter. Then put 5 1/2 ounces of the chicken/egg mixture on the almonds, press it down to about a 5-inch diameter circle, add 1 1/2 tablespoons of almond mixture on top. Then fold the leaf up over the mixture, pleating the top, and, using a wide spatula on top and the support of the pie or cake pan below, carefully invert the packet onto the first pair of filo leaves. Paint the edges of the flat sheet with an egg wash and fold up the edges, pleating the top. With a large spatula carefully place the bisteeya on a cookie sheet lined with parchement paper and brush the top lightly with melted butter. Repeat this process 5 more times. Bake the 6 bisteeyas in a 350 degree oven until brown, about 35 minutes. Sift powdered sugar on top of bisteeya and run crisscrossing lines of cinnamon over the top.
