Mantı Recipe

Preparation and Cooking

1. 1

   Make the Dough

   In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the egg and water gradually. Mix until a dough forms. Knead on a floured surface for about 10 minutes until smooth. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 30 minutes.

2. 2

   Prepare the Filling

   In a bowl, combine ground beef, chopped onion, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well combined.

3. 3

   Shape the Dumplings

   Roll out the rested dough on a floured surface to a thin sheet. Cut into squares (about 2x2 inches). Place a teaspoon of filling in the center of each square. Fold the corners over the filling to form a triangle and pinch the edges to seal tightly.

4. 4

   Cook the Dumplings

   Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Drop in the dumplings in batches and cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.

   Prepare the Sauce

   In a small saucepan, heat some olive oil and add chopped tomatoes. Cook until soft. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
