mantia

Mantia are small filled pastries in Kosovo cuisine, often made with minced meat and onion. In the Prizren version, thin dough is cut into squares and filled with minced meat and finely chopped onion. The individual parcels are baked together in a tray.^[1][2]

Nerti’s beef version for Arti Gatimit first sautés onion and meat for the filling. Buttered sheets of dough are stacked, rolled thin and cut into squares. Their four corners are folded over the filling, and the parcels are placed seam-side down in an oiled tray before baking. The author also lists chicken and a version with butter and yogurt.^[2]
