Tomato Chili Butter Mini Manti with Garlicky Yogurt
These mini Manti with tomato chili butter and garlicky yogurt are as easy to make as they are delicious. They are some of the cutest little dumplings I ever did see. The folds in the Manti give them amazing chew. The tomato chili butter is a little sweet, tangy, salty and spicy, and the garlicky yogurt is so good.
Bring a large pot of water to a boil, then season liberally with salt and cook Manti until al dente. Reserve some starchy pasta water for the end!
While you’re waiting for the water to boil, mix together your yogurt, garlic and salt to taste, then set aside while you make the tomato chili butter.
Melt butter in large saute pan over medium/medium low heat, then whisk in tomato paste until combined.
Add your Aleppo pepper and sumac to the tomato butter and taste for seasoning. Then, scoop around 1/4 of the tomato chili butter into a separate bowl and set aside.
Add your cute, al dente mini Manti to the tomato chili butter with a splash of pasta water and toss to combine.
Serve, topped with garlicky yogurt and a drizzle of tomato chili butter and enjoy!
Notes
My Manti were not filled, but they do sell mini Manti filled with things like lamb, beef and soy! This would be delicious with any of those fillings or without.As always, make sure you’re seasoning your pasta water enough! It should taste like the ocean.Be careful not to overcook your Manti or they may fall apart and get mushy.If you love spice, feel free to add more raw, minced garlic to the yogurt and more Aleppo pepper to the butter.If you can’t find Aleppo pepper, use a combination of cayenne and paprika.You can use dried mint instead of fresh if you’d like as well!
[…] were me, I’d make extra and use some for my Roasted Garlic and Tomato Butter Grilled Cheese or my Tomato Chili Butter Mini Manti with Garlicky Yogurt… just sayin’. […]
I'm a big eater, a huge fan of pasta (and mac n cheese), and I'm on a mission to prove that indulgence and balance can exist well together without silly restrictions or dieting. Life's too short to eat bad food!
