Eaten in Turkey, Armenia and across Central Asia, manti are typically meat-filled dumplings, which can be boiled, steamed or baked, and they’re served with a variety of sauces ranging from yogurt and sour cream to melted butter and spiced tomato sauce. The name is said to be derived from the Chinese word mantou, a meat-filled bun (though today, mantou usually refers to a plain steamed white bun). This vegetarian manti is inspired by the Turkish version, here filled with herby mushrooms, and served with a sharp garlicky yogurt and a spiced tomato sauce. While traditional manti are small and made with a flour-egg-olive oil dough, this recipe uses the shortcut of wonton wrappers, resulting in a more conventionally sized dumpling. You could use just one type of mushroom, but employing a variety will add more chew and texture (fresh shiitakes combined with creamy creminis make an excellent pairing). Prep a large batch and freeze for future meals (see Tip below).

Step-by-step instructions

Prepare the filling for the manti: Heat a medium (10-inch) skillet on medium-high for 1 minute. Add olive oil and onion and cook, stirring, until slightly softened, 1 ½ to 2 minutes. Add the mushrooms and garlic, season with 1 teaspoon of salt and a big pinch of black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the moisture has cooked out of the mushrooms and they start to caramelize and stick to the pan, 6 to 7 minutes. Turn off the heat. Add the soy sauce, Aleppo pepper and parsley and stir to combine. Check seasoning and add more salt if needed. Set aside to cool.

Make the garlicky yogurt: To a small bowl, add the yogurt, garlic and salt. Stir to combine.

Make the spiced tomato sauce: Place a medium pot on medium heat. Add the oil, tomatoes, dried mint, Aleppo pepper and salt and heat until it simmers. Stir, reduce heat to low and leave to bubble gently for 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare a workstation for the manti: Add some water to a small bowl. Wet a kitchen towel and wring out the water; use the damp towel to cover the open packet of wonton wrappers.

Place one wonton wrapper in the palm of your hand and thoroughly wet all 4 edges with water (make sure there are no dry spots around the edges). Add 2 teaspoons of the mushroom filling to the center of the wrapper and then bring two opposite corners toward the center. Repeat with the remaining two opposite corners to form a pyramid, and press the seams together firmly to seal, expelling any air pockets. Squeeze the tip of the manti to make sure it is sealed too.

Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Working in batches, drop a few manti in the water and once they float to the top, cook for 1 ½ to 2 minutes. Remove with a large spider strainer or slotted spoon and place them on a plate. Continue cooking the remaining manti.

To serve, divide the garlicky yogurt across four plates, top with the manti and spoon over some of the spiced tomato sauce. Drizzle with olive oil and scatter a few parsley leaves on top.
