Ingredients

• Almond flour - 200 grams
• Egg - 1 large
• Water - 60 ml
• Ground beef or lamb - 250 grams
• Onion - 50 grams, finely chopped
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Paprika - 1/2 teaspoon
• Yogurt (full-fat) - 100 grams
• Olive oil - 1 tablespoon
• Dried mint - 1 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - for garnish

Steps

1. In a mixing bowl, combine almond flour, egg, and water, kneading until a smooth dough forms. Let it rest for 15 minutes.
2. In another bowl, mix ground beef or lamb with chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and paprika until well combined.
3. Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it's about 2-3 mm thick. Cut into small squares (about 5x5 cm).
4. Place a small teaspoon of the meat mixture in the center of each square. Fold the corners towards the center, pinching to seal the dumplings.
5. Bring a pot of salted water to a boil and gently drop the dumplings in. Cook for about 10-12 minutes, or until they float to the surface.
6. In a small bowl, stir together yogurt, olive oil, and dried mint until smooth. Season with salt to taste.
7. Drain the dumplings and serve them topped with the yogurt sauce and garnished with fresh parsley.
