Let's Get Started
- To make the dough, combine the flour, egg, salt, and water in a large bowl. Knead until smooth, then cover and let rest for 30 minutes.
- For the filling, mix together the ground meat, onion, salt, and pepper.
- Roll out the dough as thin as possible and cut into small squares. Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each square, then fold the dough over to form a triangle, sealing the edges well.
- Boil the manti in salted water until they rise to the surface, about 5 minutes.
- While the manti are cooking, make the sauce by combining the yogurt and garlic. Melt the butter in a small saucepan and stir in the paprika.
- Drain the manti and divide among serving plates. Spoon the yogurt sauce over the top, then drizzle with the melted butter. Serve immediately.
