Ingredients

For the Dough:

  • 3 ½ cups all-purpose flour
  • 1 cup water
  • ½ tsp salt
  • 1 egg

For the Filling:

  • 12 oz ground beef
  • 1 medium onion grated
  • ½ tsp black pepper
  • ½ tsp salt

For the Yogurt:

  • 3 cups Greek yogurt
  • 3 tbsp water
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • ¼ tsp salt

For the Sauce:

  • 2 tbsp butter
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • 1 tsp dried mint
  • 1 tsp red pepper flakes

Instructions

Make the Dough:

  • In a large bowl, combine the flour, water, salt, and egg. Knead the mixture until it forms a smooth, elastic dough. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for about 45 minutes to 1 hour.

Prepare the Filling:

  • In a separate bowl, mix the ground beef, grated onion, black pepper, and salt. Set aside.

Shape the Manti:

  • Roll the rested dough out on a lightly floured surface to about ⅛ inch thick. Cut it into ½-inch squares. Place a small amount of the beef filling in the center of each square. Fold the corners, meeting at the center, pinching the edges to form pouch-like small dumplings. Repeat the process until all ingredients are used.

Cook the Manti:

  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the manti and cook for 6-7 minutes or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and drain.

Prepare the Yogurt Topping:

  • In a small bowl, whisk together the Greek yogurt, water, minced garlic, and salt until smooth. Adjust the water as needed to get a pourable consistency. Set aside.

Make the Sauce:

  • In a small saucepan, melt the butter over medium heat. Add the dried mint and red pepper flakes, stirring until fragrant.

Assemble:

  • Serve the cooked manti on a plate, drizzle with the yogurt topping, and spoon the butter sauce over the top. Enjoy!
