Lamb ravioli Manti
These tiny dumplings are the specialty of eastern and southern Turkey.

Ingredients:
Dough:
· 2 cups flour
· 1 tablespoon salt
· 2 egg yolks
· 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
· ½ cup water, or as needed
Filling:
· ½ pound ground lamb or beef meat
· 2 tablespoon Salca (Turkish pepper paste)
· 1 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
· 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
· 1 tablespoon salt
Sauce:
· 2 tablespoons melted butter
· 2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
· 2 cups grated tomato
· 1 teaspoon Salca (Turkish pepper paste)
· 2 cups plain Greek yogurt
· 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
Topping:
· 4 tablespoons unsalted butter
· 1 teaspoon dried mint
Garnish:
· 3 tablespoons sumac
· ½ cup chopped parsley
Preparation:
Make the dough: combine the flour and salt in the bowl of a food processor. With the motor running, add the yolks and the extra virgin olive oil. Use as much water as you need to combine into a dough. When the dough is smooth, remove from the bowl, wrap in plastic, and let rest for 30 minutes.
Combine all of the filling ingredients in a medium bowl.
Knead well until smooth and combined. Divide the dough into four pieces. Work with one piece at a time and keep the rest covered. Roll the dough out thinly.
Cut the dough into 1 inch square pieces. Place about ó teaspoon filling in the center of the square. Fold one corner of the square over to form a triangle and press to seal. Place on a floured tray, being careful not to let any of the pieces touch. To avoid the dough sticking to each other, flour the tray and raviolis.
Make the sauce: melt the butter and the extra virgin olive oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add the Turkish pepper paste (salca) and tomato, stir, and cook for about 5 minutes. Season to taste with salt and set aside.
Combine the yogurt with salt and 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil and set aside.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat. Add enough salt to make the water salty like the sea. Add the manti to the boiling water. Boil until the manti is fully cooked, about 8 to 10 minutes after it floats to the surface. Drain.
Serve manti in a wide, shallow bow lightly cover with yogurt and spoon a little tomato sauce over the top. Drizzle with a little of the mint butter sauce. Sprinkle with sumac and parsley,
