Ready made WonTon Wrappers stuffed with a ground beef and onion mixture. Then they are boiled until tender and served in some of the boiling liquid. Top with tomato sauce, garlic yogurt, sumac, and mint.
Ingredients
  • 12-ounce package WonTon Wrappers
  • Bowl of water for sealing the Manti
  • 1 Medium Onion
  • 1 pound Ground Beef
  • 2 Teaspoon Salt
  • ½ Teaspoon Black Pepper
  • 1 Tablespoon Olive Oil
  • 1 Can Tomato Paste
  • 4-6 Cloves Garlic, crushed
  • 1½ Cups Full Fat Plain Yogurt (I use Cabot Farms)
  • To taste Crushed Dried Mint, Red Pepper Flakes, Sumac
Instructions
  1. Grate onion into a bowl. Add salt, pepper and 1 pound of ground beef and mix well.
  2. Next, cut the WonTon Wrappers in half and then half again. They should now be 1-inch squares of dough.
  3. Then you can start stuffing the manti.
  4. Take a fingertip amount of the meat filling and place in the center of the square. Dampen the edges so you get a seal when you pinch the corners to the center. Place on another tray leaving space between the dumplings so they do not stick together.
  5. Put a large stockpot of salted water on the stove to boil. In the meantime, put a tablespoon of olive oil in a saucepan and heat. Add one can of tomato paste, salt, pepper and water to make a sauce.
  6. Next, make the garlic yogurt. Crush about 4-6 cloves of garlic with salt and mix in a bowl with 1½ cups full-fat plain yogurt. Stir well, cover and refrigerate until ready to use.
  7. When the water boils, carefully place some of the manti into the boiling water. Boil 6 – 8 minutes or until tender.
  8. Once the dumplings are cooked, ladle the dumplings into bowls and add some of the cooking broth to the bowl.
  9. Top with the sauce, a spoonful of the garlic yogurt, crushed dried mint, red pepper flakes and sumac (optional). Enjoy piping hot! Afiyet Olsun!
