About this recipe

Traditionally, rouille (slathered on a toasted slice of baguette) is the classic accompaniment to bouillabaisse, the seafood soup famous in Marseille and along the Provençal coast. But this study, garlicky red pepper mayonnaise variant can do so much more; it works as a dip, a spread, or a dressing. Try tossing boiled potatoes in it for a wonderful late-summer picnic salad. 

The Benefits

This savory Mediterranean sauce is full of vitamin C thanks to the red bell, and lemon juice; and healthy monounsaturated fats from olive oil and egg yolks. Pepper, garlic and saffron (a little goes a long way) up the antioxidant quotient of the recipe.
