One serving has 710 kcal and 31 g protein, and at least a fifth of a woman's daily need of cobalamin (109%), selenium (80%), zinc (72%), niacin (66%), riboflavin (64%) and thiamin (62%). Ready in 115 minutes.
- Preparation: 75 min
- Cooking: 40 min
- Makes: 1 serving (418 g)
- Difficulty: Medium
- Diets: High protein
- Contains: beef, dairy, gluten
Ingredients
- 75 g Flour, all-purpose
- 67 g Water (lukewarm for the dough, hot for baking)
- 15 g Sunflower oil (for the dough and the tray)
- 1 g Salt
- 100 g Beef, minced
- 40 g Onion
- 0.2 g Black pepper
- 120 g Yogurt, plain (or kiselo mlijeko)
Method
- Mix the flour with half the salt, add two-thirds of the water, lukewarm, and a little of the oil and knead for 8-10 minutes into a smooth, soft dough. Divide it into two balls, brush them with oil, cover and leave them to rest for 30 minutes.
- For the filling, chop the onion very finely and mix it well with the minced beef, the rest of the salt and the pepper.
- On a floured board, roll each ball of dough out thinly, about 1 mm, and cut it into squares about 5 cm across.
- Put a small ball of filling, about a teaspoon, in the middle of each square, then pinch the four corners together over it and press the edges shut into a small square parcel.
- Heat the oven to 220°C. Oil a round baking tray, pack the mantije into it tightly side by side and brush them with the rest of the oil.
- Bake for 25-30 minutes, until golden brown. Sprinkle the rest of the water, hot, over them and bake for 5 minutes more, then cover the tray with a cloth and leave it for 10 minutes so the pastry softens underneath.
- Serve warm, with the yogurt poured over them. Mantije are made all over Bosnia and the Sandžak, where those of Novi Pazar are famous.
