Rougail Saucisses
Rougail saucisses is a traditional dish from Réunion, full of spiced flavour. It is made of smoked or fresh sausages, cut into pieces and simmered in a sauce of tomato, onion, garlic and ginger. Chilli and spices such as turmeric add a hot, exotic note. Rougail is usually served with white rice, lentils or butter beans, and sometimes a little combava zest for a unique tangy edge. A comforting dish with real character.
