Sausage Rougaille has been at the top of my list of recipes to make for a very long time and I don’t know why I haven’t tried it before because it is truly a pure delight and a very simple recipe to make.

Speaking of lists of recipes to make, I would like to know if I am the only one who always has 300 recipes to test permanently… 😉 However, I really feel like I try new things every day and each time I have one or two new recipe ideas that come to me and it always takes so long… ahhahha!

So the other day, when I went to my butcher, I saw some smoked sausages and I bought 2 and ate them with potatoes, a salad and cancoillotte (creamy cheese). We were far from an exotic dish that is rougail saucisse, weren’t we!?

Yes, but here it is, when I was cooking my smoked sausages, I had no more potatoes and I immediately thought of this rougail, fortunately, I had a jar of crushed tomatoes!

You will see that in my recipe I add a spoonful of peanut butter, it is totally optional but I like the light taste and the roundness that it brings to my rougaille. You can then serve it with rice for example.
