How to mold manties

In Siberia, mantas are called "poses", so the word "pose" means to mold mantas.

This article will step by step describe how to properly prepare manti.

The following products and equipment are required for the preparation of mantis :

Mantova, plate, water, salt, flour, eggs, pepper and other condiments (on taste), onions, meat, fat, butter and a little vegetable, for example sunflower.

How to cook the dough :

The recipe for making dough for manti is the same as for dumplings, that is, you need to take flour, eggs and water and knead an elastic dough. Prepared dough should be covered with a large cup so that it does not weathered.

Preparation of stuffing :

To get juicy mantles, you need to take beef and pork in equal parts and be sure to add onions. For 1 kg of meat add 1 kg of onions, 3 - 4 medium-sized potatoes and spices to taste. Spices can be used the same as for pilaf - coriander, zira, ground pepper, salt. Then cut the meat as small as possible, approximately 5 mm in cubes. Meat is better to cut, but not twist in a meat grinder, this will also depend on the taste of the dish. The prepared minced meat is seasoned with spices and temporarily set aside.

Next, you need to put water in a special container - cascade. This is a kind of steamer, which is a pan with a lid and several removable "superstructures" in the form of small pots, but with holes on the bottom.

Now let's take a look at some of the ways how to mold a mantle:

All "superstructure" parts of the mantovarki must be greased with vegetable oil, so that there is no sticking during cooking.

The dough must be rinsed once more, then cut off a small piece of the total mass and mold out the "sausage" from which the juices will be rolled-thin slices 10 cm in diameter.

How to mold manti - the process itself:

- in a round of dough we put forcemeat, to give the mantle the juiciness it is possible, having put on a small piece of a slice of butter. Further we turn off and we splash the juice.

- with fingers very carefully we take from two edges of circles, so that forcemeat was in the middle, we cover the middle, then in turn edges, gluing them from the side.

- Put the mantles in the mantovarku immediately, in the process of molding, so that they do not come into contact with each other.

By this time, the water in the saucepan boiled, you can lower the "superstructure" with the mantles in the mantovarku and close the lid. After 40 minutes, the manta rays should be ready.

You can serve with a sauce of this preparation:

In kefir is added bitter pepper, garlic and salt, mixed in a bowl. You can sprinkle the removed manties with chopped greens. Bon Appetit!

If you decided to treat yourself to your favorite dish, but there was no mantovarka at hand, then there is no big reason for the disorder. Canceling the plan does not make sense, because there is an option how to make manti without mantovarki.

It is necessary to take a metal colander in the kitchen and place it with mantles in a saucepan so that the bottom does not touch the water in the pan. The lattice of the gooseberry must also be lubricated with vegetable oil. The disadvantage of the method is that you can cook only one serving, the next one should be repeated in a similar way.

Mantas are an Asian dish, and they cook it mainly from mutton, but they rarely cook lamb in Russia, so they reconsidered the recipe, and cooked with pork, they became closer to Russian cuisine, and this is what happened.
