Instructions
 

The dough:

  • Take your 3 cup all purpose flour to a large container. Add your egg, 1 tsp. of salt and start kneading while you are adding the warm water little little. Your dough should be neither hard nor soft. It should have earlobe consistency.
  • You can also make your dough in your stand mixer with a dough hook. Just add the water by little little and don't let the dough would be to hard or soft.
  • Divide your dough in three, cover them with some towel and let it rest for 20 minutes.

The filling:

  • Take your 250 gr. (0,6 lb.) ground beef, 1 grated onion, black pepper, red pepper flakes and salt in a small bowl and knead a little until combined.

Preparation: (please see below video to visualize it better)

  • Roll each dough pieces separately until their thickness will be 1/13 inch. (2 mm.)
  • Cut 3/4 inch. (2 cm.) squares from your dough.
  • Put one pinch of your filling to all squares.
  • Seal all the squares from their corners. You need to do it before the dough gets dry otherwise it won't stick.

Cooking:

  • You don't need to cook all turkish ravioli right away. You can keep them in your freezer for about a year.
  • When you will cook, boil some water on your pot, add some salt to your water and boil your "manti" for about 20 minutes.

Butter sauce:

  • Make your sauce while boiling your "mantı". Heat your butter in your pan. Add your tomato paste, red pepper, dried mints and fry it a little. Don't forget to observe it because it can burn very quickly.

Serving:

  • Strain your turkish ravioli in a plate. Put some plain youghurt (or youghurt with garlic) on it, pour your sauce and voila! It's ready!
