Lyutenitza
In Bulgaria as all the necessary ingredients have just turned ripe – tomatoes, peppers, eggplant (optional) 😊, some whole families or even group of neighbors will spend their whole coming weekend to bake on fire the peppers and eggplants and then to boil on fire the whole pot with the lyutenitsa to prepare it in cans for the winter. Some fun pictures that represent the process are below in addition to the recipe but it’s the proportion between the ingredients as well as some additional spices that makes this tasty dish a family secret and the lyutenitza’s taste so diverse around the country.
