ingredients

  • 1 package store-bought dumpling wrappers
  • 1 pound ground lamb
  • 1/4 cup fresh cilantro, chopped
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley, chopped
  • 1/2 large yellow onion, finely diced
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 2 tablespoons cumin seeds, toasted
  • 1 teaspoon Aleppo pepper
  • kosher salt, to taste
  • freshly cracked black pepper, to taste

ingredients

For the dipping sauce

  • 2 cloves fresh garlic
  • 1 cup sour cream
  • chili oil, to taste

Method

  • Step 1

    Combine the filling ingredients in a large bowl.

  • Step 2

    Take each dumpling wrapper and stuff it with about a teaspoon of filling. Fold the manti and place filled dumplings on a floured sheet pan.

  • Step 3

    If you have a steamer, steam the manti for 8-10 minutes or until the lamb is cooked through. Otherwise, you can use the pan-fry method: heat oil in a skillet over medium. Add the manti (be careful not to crowd) and fry until the bottoms turn golden. At this point and with your lid at the ready, add a few tablespoons of water to the skillet and cover. Allow the manti to steam the rest of the way through.

  • Step 4

    While the manti cook, microplane 2 cloves of garlic into the sour cream and season with salt. Serve the manti with garlic sour cream, chili oil, and more cilantro if you’d like.
