Mantas with minced meat

Method

1. 01

   Pork with beef (or lamb) in equal ratios pass through the meat grinder. Also often used finely chopped by hand or in a blender meat.

2. 02

   Grind the head of onions and tomatoes.

3. 03

   Pour the mince into a dish, add onions and tomatoes, season: salt, basil and red ground pepper.

4. 04

   How to mix the mince and put aside.

5. 05

   Now we can do the test. In a deep dish, pour 3 glasses of flour and break 2 eggs, add half a teaspoon of salt and a couple of tablespoons of sour cream. Stir the contents. Then gently pour 50-70 ml of water, if the dough turns out to be too liquid, just add flour.

6. 06

   In the end, you should get a strong elastic dough. The dough should be kneaded with your hands for at least 5-10 minutes, only slightly dusting with flour, and then cover it with a towel or bowl and give it a rest for 20 minutes so that the gluten swells and the dough becomes elastic.

7. 07

   When the dough is ready, cut off a piece the size of a fist or a little larger, grind in your hands and form a ball.

8. 08

   Roll the ball into a thin pancake with a roller-coat.

9. 09

   Cut the edges with a sharp knife, so that you get a rectangle of dough with flat edges. The dough trimmings will go to the next batch.

10. 10

    Again, with the help of a knife, divide the dough into small rectangles.

11. 11

    For each piece of dough, lay out 1.5 tablespoons of minced meat.

12. 12

    Wrap the dough with a straw, fastening the edges. Form your ears on the sides, as in the photo.

13. 13

    Hold the manta ears on one side.

14. 14

    And then another. You should have your first manta.

15. 15

    And here's my first batch. I have made about 30 of them in total.

16. 16

    The minced meat mantles are steamed, I used a homemade steamer. In addition, you can use a multicooker or simply cook them in a dull hose on a pot of water.
