Rıfat Minare Lutenitsa is a jarred pepper-and-tomato spread inspired by lutenitsa, a familiar preserve in Bulgaria and across the Balkans. It is typically made by cooking down roasted peppers and tomatoes into a thick, smooth or slightly textured relish; this packaged version is ready to serve.
Its flavour is gently sweet, savoury and smoky, and it works well spread on bread or toast. In its Balkan home, it is often served with bread and cheese or alongside grilled foods; elsewhere, try it in a sandwich, with eggs, or as a dip for vegetables. It is vegetable-based, with 2.6 g of fibre per 100 g, though the oil contributes to its energy content. A thin layer adds flavour without overwhelming a meal.
