Meat:
The meat should be half-frozen, so it can be cut. The meat is cut by a knife in tiny squares.
Mix meat with the onion, chopped pumpkin, garlic, dill, parsley and pepper. Then add some salt, some water and sunflower-seed oil (or olive oil).
Cut the dough into small pieces and roll into circles, and place some meat into the middle, lift the edges of the pastry over the meat, and squeeze together at the top. Then the 'manti' are dipped into butter.
Place bay leaf in a pot of water over which a steamer is placed.
Steam for 30-40 minutes.
