I Love Lyutenica
Bulgarian Vegetable Chutney
Lyutenica (Bulgarian: лютеница) is a vegetable
relish or chutney in Bulgarian, Macedonian and Serbian cuisines. The
ingredients include peppers, aubergines, carrots, garlic, vegetable oil,
sugar, salt, and tomatoes. It comes in many varieties: smooth; chunky;
with chili peppers or eggplant; and hot or mild. Ljutenica may be
slightly spicier than the other popular relish; however, these relishes
are available in many regional and national variations.
In Bulgaria, lyutenica comes in a jar and is often used as a spread on
breads. It is also frequently eaten with many meats, meatballs and
kebapcheta. Most households have them all year. In recent years,
industrial production of ljutenica and ajvar has flourished. Large-scale
production of both relishes has popularized them outside the Balkans.
