Manti in Uzbek

This is a gastronomic tour of Central Asia without leaving your home! Real Uzbek manti is prepared using only lamb or beef, and fat tail fat is always added. In no case are the ingredients put through a meat grinder; they are finely chopped with a knife, which makes the filling juicy and crumbly.

    How to make manti in Uzbek? Beat a chicken egg into a deep container, add salt and beat lightly. Pour water in there, beat lightly again and begin adding flour, sifting through a sieve. Transfer the dough to the table and knead it by hand for 5-7 minutes. If there is not enough flour, add in small portions, the dough should not stick to the table. Place the dough back into the bowl, cover with a towel and let it rest while you prepare the filling.

Very tasty, juicy and filling manti in Uzbek style. The dish is labor-intensive, so I chopped the minced meat in the evening, and in the morning I kneaded the dough and prepared the manti. I cooked it in a mantyshnitsa and froze some of it. My men always wait for me to cook manti, they love them very much. Thank you very much for the recipe!
