These vegetarian Turkish dumplings are filled with white cheese and parsley, then boiled. Served with garlic yogurt and a butter sauce, they offer a lighter, practical alternative to classic meat-filled dumplings.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Make and rest the dough

35 min

Knead the flour, egg, salt, and lukewarm water firmly until a stiff dough forms. Cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.

2

Make the filling

5 min

Mix the crumbled white cheese with the finely chopped parsley and black pepper. The cheese is salty, so no additional salt is needed.

3

Shape the dumplings

20 min

Roll the dough out thinly and cut it into 3-centimeter squares. Place some filling in the center of each square, bring the corners together to seal, and press the edges firmly.

4

Boil and serve

12 min

Boil the dumplings in salted water until the dough turns translucent, then drain. Spoon the garlic yogurt over them. Heat the butter with the Turkish red pepper flakes, drizzle it over the dumplings, and serve hot.

Reminder

Important: The cheese is salty, so do not add extra salt to the filling. Contains gluten, dairy, and eggs. Press the corners firmly and use a measured amount of filling to keep the dumplings from opening while boiling. You can freeze the assembled dumplings.
