Ingredients:
*Dough:
- 400 g flour
- 4 eggs
- 1 tsp salt
*Filling:
- 1 onion (peeled)
- 200 g ground beef
- Salt and pepper (to taste)
*Yogurt sauce:
- 500 g plain yogurt
- 2 cloves of garlic
*Sauce:
- 3 Tbsp vegetable oil
- 1 Tbsp tomato paste
- 1 Tbsp red pepper flakes
- 1 Tbsp dried mint
Directions:
1) Combine the flour and salt in a mixing bowl. Add the eggs, mixing well with your hands to form a soft dough. Cover and set aside for at least 30 minutes
2) Grate the onion and combine it with ground beef, salt, and pepper. Mix the meat well until mashed
3) Divide the dough into two portions and lightly flour a work surface. Keep one piece of dough covered while you roll out the second portion into a rectangle, rolling the dough as thin as you can. Cut the rectangle into 2 cm squares
4) Place the filling in the center of each square. Seal the dumplings by gathering the edges of the dough and pinching them together at the top to form a bundle
5) Transfer the finished manti to a floured plate, to prevent sticking. Repeat with the second piece of dough
6) Heat the oil with the tomato paste, red pepper flakes and dried mint in a small saucepan over low heat. Remove from the heat and keep warm. Stir the minced garlic into the yogurt and set aside.
7) Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the manti until the filling is no longer pink, and the dough is tender. Drain well
8) Divide the manti among four plates. Spoon the yogurt sauce over the manti and drizzle each serving with the hot sauce
