Ingredients:
2 cups plain yogurt
5 cloves garlic, crushed
3 tablespoons dried mint
5 ounces ground beef or lamb
1 onion, grated
Salt, pepper
1 package won-ton wrappers (ready made egg-dough squares)
4 cups beef broth
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons finely crushed red pepper
Directions:
Preheat oven to 375ºF (190ºC). Mix yogurt, garlic, and one tablespoon mint. Set aside. Mix meat, onion, remaining mint, salt, and pepper. Cut won-ton wrappers into four small squares. Place a pea-size bit of meat in one won-ton square, moisten edges with water, and pinch corners together to make a mantı (small dumpling).
Arrange in a single layer on a baking pan and bake until brown. Remove from oven and boil mantı in broth until soft. Sauté red pepper in butter. Ladle mantı into bowls, top with yogurt, then pepper sauce.
Servings: Serves four
