Lets Start Cooking!

step 1

Start by making the pasta dough- pour the flour on your working surface and create a pit in the middle. Add the water, eggs and salt. Mix and knead for 12-15 min, until the dough is elastic and smooth.

step 2

Wrap the pasta with a plastic wrap and set aside while we work on the filling.

step 3

Make the filling- chop the parsley and the onion finely and add to a bowl together with the ground lamb, red pepper paste, salt, black pepper. Bring together to an homogenous mix.

step 4

Roll out the pasta dough on a floured work surface as thin as 1/8 of an inch thickness.

step 5

Cut the dough with a pizza cutter into 1.5 squared inch pieces.

step 6

Place 1/2 tsp of filling on each squared piece of dough. Close up each piece patiently. First fold the tiny square into two then seal all the opposite corners of the dough in the center.

step 7

Bring water and salt to boil like you’d cook pasta.

step 8

In the meantime prepare the sauce by simply combine yogurt, grated garlic and salt together in a bowl. We will mix this cold sauce with the boiled mantis once they are cooked.

step 9

Boil the manti until they float to the top. Take out from the water and transfer to a serving bowl.

step 10

Add 1-2 tbsp of yogurt sauce on top, add 1 tsp of chili oil and decorate with chopped parsley.

step 11

YASSS!
