Ingredients
Dough:
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
1/2 cup warm water
1 teaspoon salt
1 egg
Filling:
1 pound ground beef (80/20 or 90/10)
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 yellow onion, minced
Tomato Garlic Sauce:
2 teaspoons olive oil
1 teaspoon minced garlic
1 teaspoon minced fresh mint
1 teaspoon red pepper paste
1 teaspoon tomato paste
1/2 teaspoons salt
Garlic Yogurt Sauce:
1 cup plain yogurt
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
Directions
- For the dough: Mix the flour, water, salt and egg together in a bowl. Cover with plastic wrap and a towel. Let rest at room temperature for 2 hours.
- Roll out the dough with a rolling pin, the thinner the better. Use a pizza cutter and cut the dough into 2-inch squares.
- For the filling: Mix together the beef, paprika, pepper, salt and onion by hand for 3 minutes. Place small chunks of filling into the pieces of dough. Grab the 4 edges of a piece of dough and bring together, then pinch on top to seal. Continue with the remaining dough and filling.
- Fill a saucepan about halfway up with water and bring to a boil. Using a skimmer, place the mantes into the boiling water for 2 minutes.
- For the tomato garlic sauce: Mix the olive oil, garlic, mint, red pepper paste, tomato paste, salt and 1/4 cup water in a bowl. Add to a saute pan and heat up.
- Using a skimmer, remove the mantes from the boiling water and add to the saute pan with the tomato garlic sauce. Gently mix for 1 minute.
- For the garlic yogurt sauce: Mix together the yogurt, garlic and salt in a bowl. Add the mantes from the tomato garlic sauce to the garlic yogurt sauce using a large spoon. Mantes can be paired with rice pilaf or be served on their own.
