Lyutenitsa

About

Bulgaria's favourite condiment — a rich, slightly spicy relish made from roasted red peppers, tomatoes, garlic, and oil, slow-cooked until thick and intensely flavoured. Every Bulgarian family has its own recipe, and making large batches for winter is a cherished autumn ritual. Spread on bread, served alongside grilled meats, or used as a base for sauces — lyutenitsa is on every Bulgarian table.
