Dumpling - Middle Eastern Cuisine

Middle Eastern Cuisine

Meat-filled manti in Armenia are typically served with yogurt or sour cream, accompanied by clear soup. Mantapour is an Armenian beef soup with manti. Dushbara (Azerbaijan: Düşbərə) is an Azeri soup with tiny lamb-filled dumplings. Khinkali (Georgian: ხინკალი) are Georgian dumpling usually filled with spiced meat.

Boraki (Armenian: Բորակի) are a kind of Armenian fried pelmeni. The main difference between boraki and traditional pelmeni is that the minced meat is pre-fried, the boraki are formed as small cylinders with an open top, the cylinders are lightly boiled in broth and then fried. Boraki are served garnished with yoghurt and chopped garlic.

Famous quotes containing the words middle, eastern and/or cuisine:

    The blood of Abraham, God’s father of the chosen, still flows in the veins of Arab, Jew, and Christian, and too much of it has been spilled in grasping for the inheritance of the revered patriarch in the Middle East. The spilled blood in the Holy Land still cries out to God—an anguished cry for peace.
    Jimmy Carter (James Earl Carter, Jr.)

    There is no Soviet domination of Eastern Europe and there never will be under a Ford administration.... The United States does not concede that those countries are under the domination of the Soviet Union.
    Gerald R. Ford (b. 1913)

    Thank God for the passing of the discomforts and vile cuisine of the age of chivalry!
    Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
