Time: 1 hour 25 minutes

Although manti are popular among many cultures, their shape, preparation method, and presentation vary across regions. Modern Turkish manti are most often formed into small squares or triangles and boiled in water. Knead the dough from oatmeal and flour, roll it out, cut into squares, and stuff with ground beef and onions. The dough will be quite sticky, but don't let that discourage you—the end result is worth it. Serve the finished manti with a topping of Greek yogurt, spiced olive oil, and chili flakes. These ingredients, and their combination, give Turkish manti their incomparable flavor.
