Step cooking
We will prepare minced meat for manti from fresh beef tenderloin. You can use any other meat. According to the traditional recipe, it is recommended to cook lamb from the pulp. Often use pork or chicken. In general, it doesn’t matter which one you choose, the main thing is that it is fresh, has a pleasant smell. It is desirable that the meat was obtained from a young animal, so that after full cooking it will be much more tender and juicier. It is not necessary that tendons are present in it, but a small amount of fat (fat) is allowed if you want to get a juicy stuffing.
- First, wash the tenderloin, dry it with paper towels, cut into small strips and cut into very small cubes. To make it easier to cut, it is better to put the meat in the freezer before cooking, so that it seizes a little. So the whole process will go much faster for you. Be sure to take a sharp knife for work.
- Then we peel large potatoes or small ones, for about this amount of meat we need 200 g of potatoes. Cut the potatoes into thin plates, then into small cubes.
- We clean 3-4 bulbs, wash, rub on a coarse grater. If desired, you can also cut the onion into very small cubes. The ratio of meat and onion should be 2: 1, so that the filling is very juicy.
In order to avoid watery eyes when slicing the onion, it is necessary to carry out some manipulations: put a glass of water nearby and constantly wet the knife with it; draw water into the mouth while slicing - We send potatoes, onions to minced meat, mix everything thoroughly. Add salt (1-2 tsp) and a few pinches of pepper at your discretion. Seasonings can be used by others. If you wish, you can add some fresh greens, such as cilantro.
- Mix everything, cover the minced meat and give a little rest. After that, you can use it for cooking manti. But remember that it is not recommended to store it in the freezer, it will lose its color. Therefore, it is not necessary to prepare such a filling for the future. Do as much as you can use during one sculpt.
