Time 2h10m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 21

¾ cup plain yogurt
1 teaspoon chopped fresh mint leaves
2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 pound ground beef
1 ½ cups chopped onion
1 cup water
1 carrot, grated
¾ teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon ground black pepper
1 ½ teaspoons ground coriander
½ teaspoon ground cumin
26 wonton wrappers
1 tablespoon tomato paste
⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
2 tablespoons water
½ cup dried yellow split peas
⅛ teaspoon red pepper flakes
1 teaspoon ground coriander
¼ teaspoon ground cumin
1 cube chicken bouillon
1 ½ cups water

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, stir together yogurt, mint, and garlic. Refrigerate.
  • In a large skillet over medium heat, cook ground beef and onions until meat is browned, stirring occasionally to crumble; drain fat. Stir in 1 cup water, carrot, salt, black pepper, 1 1/2 teaspoons coriander, and 1/2 teaspoon cumin; simmer uncovered for 30 minutes or until water evaporates.
  • Lay out wonton wrappers on aluminum foil. Mound two large spoonfuls of beef mixture in the center of one wrapper. Dip a finger in water and trace it around all four edges. Lay a second wonton wrapper on top of the first, and press on all edges to seal. Roll up the edges to create a round, hat-shaped ravioli. Repeat, making 13 ravioli.
  • Place ravioli in steamer and steam 40 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, mix together the yellow split peas, 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes, 1 teaspoon coriander, 1/4 teaspoon cumin, chicken bouillon, and 1 1/2 cups of water in a saucepan. Bring to a boil, then simmer over medium-low heat for about 45 minutes, or until it reaches a thick slurry-like consistency.
  • Meanwhile, in the large skillet, mix remaining beef mixture with 2 tablespoons water, tomato paste, and 1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes. Simmer over low heat until liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes.
  • To serve, spread yogurt on a serving plate. Top with ravioli, and top again with split pea mixture. Finally, top with tomato and beef mixture. Serve immediately.

The Mantu were a bit too greasy for my liking, but they were still pretty good. I'll try to drain the beef filling more thoroughly next time.
