Manti with minced meat and potatoes

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make manti with minced meat and potatoes? Start cooking the dish with the dough. How to make dough? In a deep bowl, pour the sifted wheat flour. It is important to sift the flour to saturate it with oxygen. Then the dough will turn out airy and soft.

2. Step 2:

   

   Make a recess in the center of the flour, drive a chicken egg into it, add salt and pour cold boiled water. Be sure to wash the eggs before use, as even the seemingly clean shell may contain harmful bacteria. It is best to use food detergents and a brush.

3. Step 3:

   

   Knead a steep, elastic and smooth dough. Be prepared for the fact that flour may need more or less than indicated in the recipe. Focus not on the amount of flour, but on the desired consistency of the dough. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and leave to lie down for 20 minutes. During this time, the flour will finally absorb the liquid, gluten will develop well in it, and the dough will be more pliable and convenient to work with.

4. Step 4:

   

   Prepare the filling. How to make the filling? For minced meat, I will use minced meat from pork and beef taken in equal parts. Mantas with such meat turn out to be more juicy and tasty. But you can cook them with traditional meat — lamb or beef. You can take the minced meat ready or scroll it yourself.

5. Step 5:

   

   Peel the onion and finely chop it with a knife.

6. Step 6:

   

   Wash, peel and finely chop the potatoes with a knife. If mantas are cooked in large quantities, then potatoes can be grated on a coarse grater. You just need to do it very quickly so that the potatoes do not have time to darken and spoil the dish with their appearance.

7. Step 7:

   

   Combine minced meat, potatoes and onions in a bowl. Add salt and ground black pepper to taste. Mix it up.

9. Step 8:

   

   Remove the dough from the film. Divide it into small pieces, roll out a thin square-shaped layer from each on a flour-dusted work surface.

10. Step 9:

    

    Put some cooked minced meat in the center of each juicer.

11. Step 10:

    

    Make manta rays. Pinch the two opposite edges of the tortilla.

12. Step 11:

    

    Then the other two edges, you get something similar to an envelope.

13. Step 12:

    

    Now connect the corners. Beautiful and neat manta rays are obtained.

14. Step 13:

    

    Mantas are traditionally cooked in a mantovark, but now it can be done in a steamer or in a slow cooker for a couple. In a slow cooker, cook mantas on the "steamed" program for 40 minutes.

15. Step 14:

    

    Serve manti to the table with sour cream, mayonnaise or other sauce. Bon appetit!
