Ljutenica - Spicy Sauce with ground pepper
Fresh tomatoes and peppers are the ingredients used in the preparation of ljutenica, and there is no other substitute for real lovers of this winter dish. But if you want to speed up the preparation process, instead of fresh pepper, you can add sweet ground pepper. The stated amount of ingredients is enough for about 3 kg of ljutenica. When you use ground pepper, you will not increase the amount of prepared winter meat, but you will only get a certain taste of spiciness.
Ingredients:
2 kg of tomatoes
1.5 kg of ground sweet pepper
200 ml of wine vinegar
400 ml of oil
250 g of sugar
1 spoon of ground pepper
0.5 kg of hot pepper
salt to taste
4 cloves of garlic
1 bag of preservative
Preparation:
Place the fresh tomatoes in a bowl. In another pot on the stove, put enough water to cover the tomatoes that you put in the pot. Boil the water and remove from the stove and pour the tomatoes into a bowl. This will make it easier to peel the skin off the tomatoes. Remove the tomatoes from the water, peel them and cut each piece into 4 parts.
Put previously prepared tomatoes, vinegar, oil, sugar, and ground pepper in a saucepan. Place the pan on the stove and stir until it starts to boil. Cook everything on medium heat for about 1 hour, stirring occasionally.
Chop the hot peppers with a knife, but use gloves when cutting and be careful not to inhale the smell coming from the hot peppers.
Add chopped hot peppers and sweet peppers to the cooking mixture and cook for another 1 – 1.5 hours. During cooking, stir the mixture occasionally to make it easier to combine and cook better.
Before you remove the stew from the stove, add salt, the garlic that you have previously cleaned and chopped into small pieces, and the preservative. Mix everything well and taste. If it is not salty enough, add more salt as desired.
Sterilize the jars in the oven by opening them and placing them on a baking sheet and baking in an oven heated to 200 °C for 5 minutes. Put the hot jaggery immediately in sterilized jars and close them with lids.
After filling, leave the jars to cool and then store them in a dark and cool place.

Use in the kitchen Spicy Sauce
NOTE:
Ljutenica spicy sauce is actually consumed in the form of a spread like ajvar and spread on bread or toast. But if you like to experiment, it can also be a side dish with a dish like fried meat. It can also be served instead of sauce, but in that case the meat or vegetables you serve it with should not be too spicy.
Be careful when serving ljutenica not to combine spicier products because you may overdo it and lose all the flavor and end up with a tasteless and overcooked dish.
After preparation, ljutenica is stored in sterilized jars that are tightly closed to prevent air from entering and the product from spoiling. It is important to pour the hot jaggery into hot jars and let it cool.
Ljutenica is best consumed within 6 months of preparation. Jars must be stored in a cool, dark, and dry place such as a pantry or basement. If you open a jar of jaggery, you have to keep it in the fridge, or it will go bad.
You can adjust the amount of hot peppers as desired. If the amount specified in the recipe is too much, and the spiciness is not to your taste, reduce the amount of hot peppers.
If you don't like the amount of fat in the ljutenica, you can reduce the amount of oil. You dose during preparation, or when you put the ljutenica in the jars, you can use a teaspoon to remove the excess oil that floats to the surface.
