Oromo (Stuffed And Rolled Pasta) (Kyrgyzstan)

Post by Chowhound »

1 1/2 cups sweet potatoes, finely chopped - OR - 1 1/2cups pumpkin, finely chopped
1 onion, finely chopped
1 lb lamb, fat trimmed and finely chopped, about 2 cups
homemade pasta dough-see Recipe Notes for link-
salt
pepper

Prepare your pasta dough and set it aside to rest. Add everything to a bowl with salt and pepper and give it a good mix. Divide the now rested and smooth pasta dough into four pieces. Working with one piece of dough at a time, roll it out as thin as you can - about 2 mm (about 1/32nd inch) thick. Cover with 1/4 of the filling and roll up the pasta into a long tube. Next, coil it around itself. Repeat and add the second coil to the first, making it twice as big. Do this again with the remaining two pieces of dough so you end up with two coils of pasta. Steam for 45 minutes to an hour, or until cooked through. Add extra water as needed in the pot. Slice into pie shaped pieces and enjoy with a dollop of yogurt sauce.
