Roast the red pointed peppers in a 220°C oven for 25 minutes, until the skins blister.
Leave the peppers in a covered container for 10 minutes, then remove the skins and seeds.
Grate the tomatoes, finely grate the carrot, and crush the garlic.
Process the peppers, tomatoes, carrot, and garlic into a coarse puree.
Put the puree in a pot and add the sunflower oil, granulated sugar, grape vinegar, salt, and black pepper.
Thicken the sauce over low heat for 35-40 minutes, stirring often.
Rest the lyutenitsa for 10 minutes before transferring it to a jar.
💡 Tip: Roast the peppers until the skins are blackened in spots; half-roasted peppers leave the sauce grainy and raw-smelling.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve lyutenitsa in a small bowl with toasted bread, roasted peppers, and olives.
