Mantas recipe:
In order to make manti, you need to take 500 grams of sifted flour and make a depression in it in order to pour 1 egg into it. After that, you need to carefully pour half a glass of water into that depression. When the flour has absorbed all that water, you need to knead the dough until it becomes elastic. As you got the finished dough, you need to wrap it in a damp cloth and put in a dark place for 30 minutes.
Then wash the pumpkin and chop 500 grams of pulp very finely. Then cut into very small pieces 700 grams of lamb and 300 grams of beef.
After that, you need to peel and thinly chop 6 onions, when the cibula is ready add it to the minced meat. Then the minced meat must be well seasoned with salt and pepper. When the onion is added, cut into small pieces and add the lard to the minced meat. All this must be mixed carefully.
To get a ball of dough you need a shape and diameter, it is best to use a rolling pin. Place the minced meat on the rolled dough and carefully join the two edges so that they fit snugly together.
