Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 lb Ground lamb (or ground turkey)
- 1 cup Feta cheese, crumbled
- 2 cups Spinach, finely chopped
- 3 tbsp Fresh parsley, minced
- 2 tbsp Fresh mint, minced
- 0.5 Red onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp Lemon zest
- 1 tsp Cumin powder
- 1 tsp Salt
- 0.5 tsp Black pepper
- 36 Wonton wrappers
- 2 tbsp Olive oil
- 0.25 cup Water
- 1 cup Plain Greek yogurt (for dipping)
- 1 tbsp Lemon juice (for dipping)
- 0.25 tsp Paprika (for dipping)
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine ground lamb (or turkey), crumbled feta, chopped spinach, parsley, mint, red onion, minced garlic, lemon zest, cumin, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly until well incorporated.
On a clean work surface, lay out a wonton wrapper. Place about 1 teaspoon of the filling mixture in the center of the wrapper.
Dip your finger into water and run it along the edges of the wrapper. Fold the wrapper in half diagonally to form a triangle, pressing the edges together to seal. For a decorative touch, crimp the edges with a fork or pleat them.
Repeat with the remaining wrappers and filling, placing the finished dumplings on a tray lined with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Arrange the pot stickers in a single layer in the skillet, ensuring they are not touching. Cook for 2-3 minutes until the bottoms are golden and crisp.
Carefully add 2-3 tablespoons of water to the skillet and immediately cover with a lid. Steam for 3-4 minutes until the filling is cooked through and the wrappers are tender. Remove the lid and let any remaining water evaporate.
Transfer the cooked pot stickers to a plate and repeat the cooking process with the remaining dumplings, adding more olive oil as needed.
To make the dipping sauce, combine plain Greek yogurt, lemon juice, and paprika in a small bowl. Mix well.
Serve the Mediterranean Pot Stickers hot alongside the yogurt dipping sauce.
