Manti (Turkish ‘Ravioli’ with Yogurt Sauce)
Manti, often referred to as Turkish "ravioli," is a delicious and intricate dish featuring small pockets of dough filled with a flavorful mixture, typically a blend of seasoned ground meat like lamb or beef. The dough is folded into small, dumpling-like shapes, creating bite-sized parcels. These little manti dumplings are then boiled until tender. The dish is traditionally served with a generous topping of garlicky yogurt sauce and a drizzle of spiced butter or oil, providing a delightful contrast to the savory filling. Manti is a beloved Turkish dish, celebrated for its rich taste and the satisfaction of savoring each delicate, flavor-packed bite.
