The dish is traditionally served with a split-pea sauce and a refreshing yogurt sauce on top. Afghan Beef Raviolis are perfect for any occasion and can be served any time of the day.

Instructions

1.In a large bowl, combine plain yogurt, fresh mint leaves, and crushed garlic to make the sauce. Set it aside.

4.On a floured surface, lay out wonton wrappers and add a tablespoon of the beef mixture to each one. Fold the wrapper over the beef mixture and pinch the edges to form a ravioli.
