A lighter dumpling from the Yoruk cuisine of the Taurus Mountains, made with thin dough and a modest ground beef filling, is served with olive oil and yogurt sauce instead of a butter sauce. Cooking the dumplings in a pressure cooker saves time when feeding a crowd.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Knead the dough

20 min

Knead the flour, egg, salt, and lukewarm water into a smooth dough. Wrap it in plastic wrap and let it rest for 20 minutes; rested dough is easier to roll out.

2

Make the filling

10 min

Thoroughly combine the ground beef with the grated onion, salt, and black pepper. The filling should be sticky.

3

Shape the dumplings

25 min

Roll the rested dough thinly and cut it into small squares. Place a little filling on each square and bring the corners together in the center to form small dumplings.

4

Cook in the pressure cooker

12 min

Drop the dumplings into boiling water and close the pressure cooker lid. Cook for 12 minutes after it comes to a boil. This method helps keep the water from evaporating and softens the dumplings much faster than usual.

5

Serve with the sauce

5 min

Mix the strained yogurt with the crushed garlic and salt, then pour it over the cooked dumplings. In a separate pan, heat the olive oil, add the red pepper flakes and dried mint, and drizzle the mixture over the sauce.

Reminder

Before opening the pressure cooker after cooking the dumplings, wait for all the steam to release; opening it too soon can cause burns. Contains wheat (gluten), eggs, and dairy (yogurt).

Sos tarifte önerildiği gibi zeytinyağlı oldu ama ben tereyağlı sos beklediğim için hafif geldi, damak tadıma biraz sulu durdu. Yörük usulü olduğu belirtilmiş ama ailemde her zaman tereyağlı yapılırdı, bu yüzden beklentimle uyuşmadı.

Tarifte düdüklü tencerede 12 dakika yazıyordu ama benim mantılarımın ortası hâlâ hamur gibiydi, kapağı açıp 6 dakika daha kaynattım. Belki hamuru biraz daha ince açmalıydım, kalınlık konusunda emin olamadım.
