Manti

• 5 cups flour
• 1/2 cup water
• 2 eggs
• 2 tablespoon salt

Since my mother has lived in America for such a long time, and the creation of dough can be a rather time-consuming job(just making the rest of the dish is time-consuming), she found some shortcuts for many Turkish dishes. For manti, she found out that Egg Wonton dough that one can buy in most grocery stores, works well for the dough. If you take this approach I recommend about 2 packages of the Egg Wonton dough. Any changes from this recipe will be marked in an indented paragraph like this one.

• 1 cup/250 grams ground meat
• 2 onions
• 1/3 bunch parsley
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

• 1 tomato
• 1/4 cup margarine
• 2 2/3 yogurt
• 1/2 teaspoon red pepper
• 6 cloves of garlic

One will skip this entire part if doing using Egg Wonton dough.

Simply skip the first sentence of this part, and you should be fine.
