Rouille
We almost never encounter rouille—a garlicky, spicy red pepper sauce from the south of France—except as the garnish for the hearty seafood soup called bouillabaisse. As far as I’m concerned it’s too tasty to remain so narrowly confined. I have used it as the finishing touch to fish stews and as a topping for Fried Clam Sandwiches. I also recommend it with baked or grilled lamb, chicken, or shrimp.
