Lyutika

Lyutika

Lyutika (Bulgarian: "лютика", IPA2|liu'tika) is a traditional vegetable mixture — salad or chunky relish, popular in the northern part of Bulgaria. It is consumed in the summer. Basic lyutika is made from (roasted) peppers, tomatoes, garlic, onions, and vegetable oil usually by crushing them to little chunks with a pestle in a mortar. Often chopped parsley is added. Lyutika is served cold. The name comes from the pungent taste ("lyut" — hot, pungent).

There are varieties of lyutika with yoghurt, sirene (white cheese), hardboiled eggs, or chunks of cooked chicken breasts.
