- 2 lbs sausages (about 1 kg, use creole or any good quality sausages)
- 3-4 tablespoon neutral cooking oil generic cooking oil
- 3 onion sliced
- 4 cloves garlic (minced)
- ½ thumb size ginger (crushed)
- 1 coriander stems reserve the leaves for garnishing, also known as cilantro stems, handful

- 1-2 prigs thyme
- 2 Chili pepper or a tablespoon of chilli flakes, finely chopped, optional
- ½ teaspoon salt (or more to taste)
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- 5-6 tomato finely chopped or blended to a puree
Instructions
- Use a fork or a sharp knife to carefully prick the sides of the sausage. Boil water in a saucepan and carefully place the sausages inside. Remove the pot from the heat, allow them to steep for 5 minutes, drain, set aside and allow them to cool. Once the sausages have cooled down, slice them diagonally into 1-inch (about 2.5cm) thick chunks.
- Heat oil in a large saucepan and fry the onions until fragrant. Add the coriander stems, spring onion, tomato paste, garlic, and ginger, then stir. Allow this to cook for 1-2 minutes, taking care not to burn.
- Next, add the turmeric, cumin, thyme, chillis, salt, and pepper then stir. Mix in the tomatoes, reduce the heat to a low, cover, and allow it to simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring from time to time.
- Add the sliced sausages and allow your rougaille to cook for a further 5-10 minutes, stirring every couple of minutes. Garnish with chopped coriander (cilantro) and serve with some rice, or use it as a filling in your baguette or sandwiches.

Notes
- Nutritional information is an estimate for 1 serving using the ingredients listed (excluding the optional ones), calculated using tools we use. Actual macros may vary slightly depending on specific brands and specific ingredients you use.
- Some sausage varieties tend to be extremely salty. For this reason, start with a small amount of salt, and adjust accordingly, if necessary.
- Creole sausages (fresh or smoked), make the best sausage rougail, but feel free to use whichever good-quality sausage you have.
- Serve rougaille saucisses with Zembrocal, or any yellow or white rice, baguette, or legume dishes, such as lentils.
