Klepe are Bosnian dumplings filled with minced beef and onion, boiled and served in garlic-yogurt sauce with walnut, the Sarajevo Ottoman heirloom of the manti family.
Klepe come from the Ottoman manti tradition (which itself traces to Turkic Central Asian peasant cooking) and entered Bosnian kitchens with the Ottoman administration after 1463. Dveri on Prote Bakovica and Nanina Kuhinja on Kundurdziluk both work the canonical Sarajevo recipe with extra walnut, the dumpling kept smaller than Turkish manti to fit the garlic-yogurt-walnut finish that defines the Bosnian version.
