Ingredients

• 2 Cups all-purpose flour
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) salt
• 2 Large eggs
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) water
• 2 Medium onions, peeled and grated
• 0.5 Pound (lb) ground beef
• 1 Pinch salt, to taste
• 1 Pinch black pepper, to taste
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) ground cumin
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) ground coriander
• 3 Tablespoons (tbsp) vegetable oil
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) red pepper flakes
• 8 Ounces (oz) plain yogurt
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) garlic, minced
• 0.25 Teaspoon (tsp) salt

Steps

1. Prepare the Dough: In a large bowl, combine the flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the eggs and water. Mix with your hands until a soft dough forms, adding more water if necessary. Knead the dough until smooth, cover, and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
2. Prepare the Filling: Grate the onions and place them in a colander to drain excess juice. In a medium bowl, combine the drained onions, ground beef, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Mix well until the ingredients are fully incorporated.
3. Roll Out the Dough: Lightly flour a work surface. Divide the dough in half and roll each piece into a thin rectangle. Cut into 2-inch squares.
4. Fill the Dumplings: Place about 2 teaspoons of the beef filling in the center of each square. Gather the edges and pinch them together to form a bundle. Place the manti on a floured plate to prevent sticking.
5. Prepare the Red Pepper Oil: In a small skillet, heat the vegetable oil over low heat. Add the red pepper flakes and cook until the oil is infused with the pepper's color and aroma. Remove from heat and keep warm.
6. Prepare the Yogurt Sauce: In a small bowl, mix the yogurt, minced garlic, and salt. Set aside.
7. Cook the Manti: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the manti and cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the filling is cooked through and the dough is tender. Drain well.
8. Assemble the Dish: Divide the cooked manti among four plates. Spoon the garlic yogurt sauce over the dumplings and drizzle with the warm red pepper oil.
9. Serve: Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or mint if desired, and serve immediately. Enjoy the delightful blend of flavors and textures in this traditional Turkish dish.
