Rougaille Poisson Salé: A cornerstone of Mauritian cuisine.
Rougaille Poisson Salé: A savory stew simmering with Mauritian Spirit
- Rougaille Poisson Salé is a tomato sauce with salted fish and this fragrant tomato-based stew featuring salted fish isn't just about satisfying appetites, but its also a testament of resourcefulness and resilience of Mauritian people. The tomatoes are simmered into a rich sauce, infused with aromatic spices like ginger, garlic, and fragrant herbs like thyme, then the salted fish which is desalted and flaked adds a savory punch that perfectly compliments the tangy tomatoes. This dish is often served with white fluffy rice or even with a side flat pancake breads called "dholl-puris" in Mauritian Creole language.
- Mauritius is a cultural gumbo of European, African and Asian influences that reflects in this dish perfectly and includes that fusion as well. Rougaille Poisson Salé is a dish enjoyed with families at home, social festive gatherings and its aroma evokes warm memories and a sense of community, bringing people together over a shared taste of Mauritian spirit.
