Cooking Features

Stuffing for mannta is prepared not quite as for dumplings or ravioli. It is impossible to obtain the expected result if you do not know and do not observe certain technological features.

Manti are traditionally made with lamb. In Asia, they are also often cooked with beef and poultry, but never pork. But manti with vegetable filling is not uncommon here. Especially popular products with pumpkin, potatoes and cabbage.
Muslims do not eat pork, considering it to be unclean meat, but our compatriots managed to adapt the recipes of classic fillings for manti to the peculiarities of our kitchen. We often cook manti with pork. This meat is no less juicy and fatty than lamb. Even an inexperienced cook will be able to make it juicy stuffing. If you do not want to make authentic manat stuffing, feel free to make it from pork or add lard instead of fat tail fat.
When cooking minced meat, discard the use of a meat grinder. The meat ground in it loses more than half of its juice. The meat for the filling should be finely chopped with a knife. If there is a need to resort to using a meat grinder, put a grate with large holes on it, then the meat will save a little more juice.
Onions are an essential ingredient in the filling; they should be as much as meat. It is also finely chopped, and not turned through a meat grinder. To bow did not make you cry, often moisten the knife in water. If you take water into the mouth or chew gum during onion chopping, tear release also decreases.
To make the filling more juicy, the meat is almost always supplemented with fat tail.
From young meat the filling is more tender and juicy than from the old one.
Some housewives add ice water or crushed ice to increase the richness of the filling.

The dough must be firm and elastic. If it breaks through, the juice from the products will flow out, they will become tasteless, even if the filling was done correctly.
