Ljutenica, Lyutenitsa or Lutenica (Serbian: љутеница, Bulgarian: лютеница, Macedonian: лутеница), (ljuto, lyuto or luto meaning spicy) is a national relish of Bulgaria, Republic of Macedonia and Serbia.

The ingredients include:

• tomatoes
• bell peppers

Ljutenica may be slightly hotter (spicier) than the other popular relish Ajvar (Bulgarian tradition Lyutenitsa is less hot than Ajvar).
