Duck Basteeya

📍 Los Angeles Middle Eastern $$$

at Bavel

"Bavel's duck basteeya is the Moroccan pigeon pie updated for a modern restaurant context — and one of the most interesting dishes in Los Angeles. Shredded duck confit inside layered phyllo with almonds, cinnamon, and powdered sugar. It is savory and sweet and aromatic and it shows what the Orias brothers are capable of."
