  • Preparation: 15 min
  • Makes: 1 serving (56.7 g)
  • Difficulty: Easy
  • Diets: Pescatarian, Dairy-free, Low carb
  • Contains: celery, egg, fish, gluten

Ingredients

  • 5 g Breadcrumbs, dry
  • 10 g Fish stock
  • 0.03 g Saffron
  • 6 g Garlic, raw
  • 0.3 g Cayenne pepper
  • 0.4 g Salt
  • 10 g Egg yolks, raw
  • 25 g Olive oil

Method

  1. Soak the breadcrumbs in the fish stock for a few minutes until soft, then mash to a paste and crumble in the saffron so it can bloom.
  2. Pound or blitz the garlic with the cayenne pepper and salt to a smooth paste, then work in the egg yolk and the bread paste.
  3. With a whisk or a food processor running, dribble in the olive oil very slowly, as if making mayonnaise, until the rouille is thick and glossy.
  4. Taste and adjust the salt and cayenne.
  5. The egg yolk stays raw in this sauce, so use a very fresh egg and avoid serving it to pregnant women, young children or anyone with weakened immunity; serve swirled into fish soup or spread on toasted bread.
