Meat dumplings with yogurt are the Turkish dish mantı: small parcels of thin dough filled with seasoned minced meat, then boiled or simmered until tender. They are commonly topped with garlicky yogurt and a little melted butter warmed with chilli or dried mint. Shapes and sauces vary between regions and household recipes.
The dumplings are soft and filling, with savoury meat balanced by cool, tangy yogurt and fragrant butter. In Turkey they are usually served hot as a main meal, often with a simple salad or pickles alongside. They provide both protein and carbohydrates; a 100 g portion contains 7.5 g of protein. For a lighter serving, use the buttery topping sparingly and choose plain yogurt, while keeping the dumplings as the centre of the plate.
