📖 The Story Behind This Dish

Rougaille is the signature tomato sauce of Mauritian Creole cooking, a blend of French, African, and Indian food cultures: tomatoes, onion, garlic, ginger, thyme, and chili are stewed together. Sausages, salt fish, shrimp, and more go in, and it's eaten with white rice or dholl puri.

🌆 Where it's eaten: At lunch in a Mauritian home, chunky sausages sit in red tomato sauce stewed in the pot and are spooned generously beside the rice.
