Ingredients

  • wheat flour500 g
  • water250 ml
  • egg1 pcs
  • salt for the dough1 tsp
  • pumpkin1000 g
  • onion5 pcs
  • lamb tail fat150 g
  • ground red pepper1 tsp
  • salt for the filling1 tsp
  • vegetable oil10 ml
  • butter50 g

Instructions

1

Sift the wheat flour, add the egg, 1 tsp salt and water; knead a firm, smooth dough, cover and let it rest for 30–40 minutes.

2

Peel and seed the pumpkin and cut it into small cubes; finely chop the onion, and cut the fat-tail lamb fat into very small cubes.

3

Mix the pumpkin, onion, fat-tail lamb fat, ground red pepper and 1 tsp salt right before shaping the manty, so the filling doesn't release excess juice.

4

Roll out the dough to 1–2 mm thick, cut it into roughly 10 × 10 cm squares, and place 1 tbsp of filling in the center of each.

5

Bring the edges of the dough up around the filling and pinch tightly, fully sealing each mantu; make sure no juice leaks out.

6

Brush the tiers of the manty steamer or steamer basket with vegetable oil, arrange the manty with space between them, and steam over high heat for 30 minutes.

7

Transfer the cooked manty to a serving plate, brush with butter and serve hot.
