Stuffed Dumplings also known as Mante, is a traditional Armenian/Middle Eastern dish that is so simple, yet so time-consuming!
Mante can be eaten and enjoyed in a variety of different ways; either boiled in chicken broth as a soup or baked and topped with tomato and a garlicky-yogurt sauce.
Traditionally, the dough is made by hand, but an easier alternative is to use Asian wonton wrappers to speed up the process and convenience. This recipe includes an easy dough recipe.
