Ingredients
Instructions
Make dough: Combine flour and salt in a large bowl. Add eggs and water
mixing well with your hands. Add more water
if needed
to form a soft dough. Cover and set aside for at least 30 minutes.
Make filling: Shred onions and place them in a colander or sieve set over a bowl; drain and discard juice. Combine drained onion
ground beef
salt
and pepper in a medium bowl; mix well with a spoon until mashed. Set filling aside.
Lightly flour a work surface and a large plate.
Divide dough in half. Working with one piece at a time
roll dough on the floured surface into a rectangle as thin as possible. Cut into 2-inch squares using a knife or pastry wheel.
Place about 2 teaspoons filling in the center of each square. Gather the edges of dough and pinch them together at the top to form a bundle. Transfer manti to the prepared plate; sprinkle more flour on top to prevent sticking.
Make oil: Heat oil and red pepper flakes in a small skillet over low heat just until pepper flakes begin to color oil. Remove from heat and keep warm.
Make sauce: Stir together yogurt and garlic in a small bowl; set aside.
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil over medium-high heat. Cook manti in boiling water until filling is no longer pink and dough is tender
20 to 25 minutes. Drain well.
Divide manti onto 4 plates. Spoon yogurt sauce over manti and drizzle with pepper oil.
Recipe Tip
You can use ground lamb or other ground meat instead of beef if you prefer.
