Serves:
Ingredients
- 300g all-purpose flour
- 2 eggs
- 200g ground beef or lamb
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves of garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt
- 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 2 cups of plain yogurt
- 4 tablespoons melted butter
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Salt for boiling water
- Turkish red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
-
In a large mixing bowl, combine the flour, eggs, and a pinch of salt. Knead the dough until it becomes smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let it rest for 30 minutes.
-
In another bowl, mix ground beef or lamb, onion, garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika. Set aside.
-
Roll out the dough into a thin sheet and cut into small squares (about 2×2 cm each).
-
Place a small amount of the meat mixture in the middle of each dough square. Fold it in half diagonally, pressing the edges to seal.
-
Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the manti and cook for about 10-15 minutes or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain well.
-
In a separate pan, heat the vegetable oil and sauté the cooked manti until they become slightly crispy.
-
Serve the manti with a dollop of yogurt and drizzle with melted butter. Sprinkle Turkish red pepper flakes on top for an extra kick, if desired.
