Rougail Saucisse/Sausage Rougail#EattheWorld

The “Sausage Rougail” is a stewed dish that is very tasty and simple to make. It is essentially a tomato-based dish, with rich flavours. Rougail sausage is a traditional Reunion dish, based on creole sausages often smoked or fresh.

The name “Rougail” actually comes from the Tamil language, which originates from India and is widely spoken on Reunion Island. I have used pork sausages, you can use any type of sausage.

My Notes

You can use any sausage of your choice. If you do not get fresh sausage, increase the quantity of hot dog sausages or any pre cooked sausages . Adjust the spice level according to your taste.
