Manti (Turkish Dumplings)

Manti are tiny, hand-shaped dumplings from the Kayseri region of Central Anatolia. Traditionally, the smaller the dumpling, the more skilled the cook. These delicate parcels of spiced meat are boiled until tender, then crowned with a tangy garlic yogurt sauce and a drizzle of Aleppo pepper butter.
