Ingredients:
3 ¼ Cups flour
2 large onions finely chopped
1 egg
½ Cup parsley chopped fine
1 Cup water
Salt and pepper to taste
2 Tbsp. Butter
6 cups of Chicken broth
1 lb. Ground lamb
Mix together the flour, egg and water and a pinch of salt until dough ball forms. Knead well. Divide the dough into two pieces, cover and let stand for 2 hours. Mix the meat, onions, parsley, salt and pepper together. Roll out the dough on a lightly floured surface to about 1/8” thick. Cut into 1 ½ inch squares. Put a dab of the filling in the center of each square. Pinch the opposite corners together into a “canoe” like shape. Place the filled squares close together, open side up, in a greased pan. Bake in a moderate oven until slightly browned. (About 325 for 30 minutes). Meanwhile, bring the chicken broth to a boil. Add salt and pepper to taste. Pour over the Manty and cook for 5 more minutes.
