Manti (Turkish Dumplings)
Tiny dumplings filled with spiced lamb, boiled and served with garlic yogurt and red pepper butter.
Why It Works
The small size means a high wrapper-to-filling ratio, so each bite has maximum sauce absorption. Hot pepper butter over cold yogurt creates a temperature and flavor contrast.
