Rougaille Saucisse
A quintessential Mauritian dish, Rougaille Saucisse features smoked sausages (saucisses fumées) simmered in a rich, tangy tomato-based sauce (rougaille) infused with onions, garlic, ginger, and thyme. It's typically served with white rice and often accompanied by a side of lentils (dal).
🧂 Ingrédients

- 500 g Tomatoes(chopped, or 1 can (400g) crushed tomatoes)
- 2 medium Onions(finely chopped)

👨🍳 Instructions
- 1
In a bowl, blanch the sliced smoked sausages in boiling water for 2-3 minutes to remove excess salt and fat. Drain and set aside.
- 2
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add the chopped onions and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes.

Add the minced garlic and grated ginger to the pot. Cook for another minute until fragrant.
- 4
Add the chopped tomatoes (or crushed tomatoes), thyme sprigs, and the optional green chili. Stir well.

Bring the mixture to a simmer. Cook for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and the sauce thickens. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
- 6
Add the blanched sausage slices to the rougaille sauce. Stir to combine.
- 7
Cover the pot and let it simmer gently for another 15-20 minutes, allowing the flavors to meld and the sausages to cook through in the sauce.

Remove the thyme sprigs and green chili before serving. Serve hot with steamed white rice and a side of cooked lentils (dal), if desired.
