Ingredients
 

Dough:

  • 250 g Flour
  • 1 Egg
  • 0,5 tsp Salt
  • 90 ml Water

filling

  • 100 g Ground beef
  • 1 Onion
  • 0,5 handful Parsley
  • 0,25 tsp Salt
  • 0,25 tsp Pepper
  • 0,25 tsp Ground cumin
  • 0,25 tsp Paprika
  • 0,25 tsp Dried mint

Yoghurt sauce:

  • 700 g Yogurt - Turkish
  • 3 Garlic cloves
  • 1 tsp Salt

Topping:

  • 100 g Butter
  • 1 tsp Paprika
  • Some dried mint and sumac f.d. Decoration

Instructions
 

Dough:

  • Knead all ingredients together to form a smooth dough and wrap in foil and leave to rest for about 30 minutes.

Filling:

  • Skin the onion and chop it finely. Wash, dry and finely chop the parsley. Mix both well with the minced meat, spices and mint.

Sauce:

  • Peel the garlic and press it into the yogurt. Stir until creamy. Season with salt and keep ready.

Manti production:

  • Now roll out the dough as thinly as possible (pasta machine up to level 4 or 5 at most). Cut it into 3-3.5 cm squares. Put 1/4 teaspoon of filling on each. Wet the edges with a finger dipped in water and fold the squares into small "pyramids". That means, first press two opposite corners together, then the other two against it. Close all open areas by gently squeezing them together and place the dumplings on a large, lightly floured surface. The amount of dough makes about 4 servings.
  • Bring well-salted water to a boil in a larger saucepan. Add the manti and cook for about 45 minutes. When they have risen, they can be lifted out of the water with a skimmer and served immediately.
  • While they are cooking, melt the butter in a pan and toast the paprika in it.
  • Put the manti on a plate, pour the paprika butter over them and serve with the yoghurt sauce. You can also put it directly over the manti and pour the paprika butter over it. Finally, sprinkle some dried mint over the top if necessary.
  • We had it as a main course and it was accompanied by a Turkish farmer's salad and pan flatbread ....... delicious ........
  • Served in smaller portions - and without a salad - it can also be a delicious starter.
