Lutenitsa

A sauce made primarily from roasted peppers. It goes with almost everything, especially red meat, but you can also eat it on its own on toast or as a dip. Every supermarket will have several long shelves devoted to different brands but the best, of course, is homemade and you generally make it at the start of autumn. To do this, you’ll need an afternoon sweating over your chushkopek roasting several kilograms of peppers one by one, as well as a few aubergines, some carrots, garlic, cumin, salt and tomato puree. Then you peel everything and blend it all together.
