Method

  1. 01

    Make the dough

    Mix the flour with a pinch of salt. Make a well in the center, pour in the water and melted butter, and mix until a dough forms.

  2. 02

    Knead

    Transfer the dough to a work surface and knead it for 6–7 minutes. If it sticks, gradually work in some of the measured flour, without exceeding the stated amount.

  3. 03

    Rest the dough

    Wrap the dough and leave it to rest at room temperature for at least 30 minutes.

  4. 04

    Mix the filling

    Grate and drain the onion well. Mix it with the ground beef, garlic, chopped parsley, a pinch of salt, the black pepper and 1 tsp dried chili.

  5. 05

    Shape the manti

    Roll the dough on a surface dusted with the remaining flour until thin but not translucent. Cut it into squares about 2.5 cm wide. Place a small portion of filling in the center of each square and seal the edges into parcels.

  6. 06

    Prepare the yogurt

    Put the plain yogurt in a bowl and stir until smooth. Set it aside for serving.

  7. 07

    Make the paprika butter

    Melt the butter for the sauce in a small pan. When it bubbles, add the remaining dried chili and the paprika; stir and take it off the heat.

  8. 08

    Boil and serve

    Boil the manti for about 3 minutes, or until they have risen to the surface and the last one has floated for 15 seconds. Drain and serve straight away with the yogurt, paprika butter and reserved parsley.
