Method

  1. 1

    Make the paste. Pound the garlic with the salt to a smooth paste, then pound in the saffron, cayenne and tomato purée.

  2. 2

    Add the yolks. Whisk the yolks into the paste in a bowl set on a damp towel.

  3. 3

    Add the oil. Add the sunflower oil drop by drop, whisking all the time, then in a thin stream once it thickens. Finish with the olive oil a spoonful at a time.

  4. 4

    Toast. Bake the baguette slices at 200 °C for 8-10 min until golden, then top with rouille or float on fish soup.

Storage

Keep the rouille covered in the fridge for up to 2 days; toasts in a tin for 2 days. Cool leftovers in a shallow container and refrigerate within 2 hours (within 1 hour on a day above 32°C).
