Red Curry of Provence

The origins of rust, the red curry of Provence

The suspense is not at its height when we look for the origin of the rust. Its name very clearly indicates Provence. Can you hear the cicadas singing? Can you see yourself facing the Mediterranean Sea tasting such typical regional flavours? The spice mixture in the rust sauce comes from Provence. This sauce, which is also called Provençal mayonnaise, is typical of the South of France. In Provençal, it is called "rouïo". And one can immediately imagine, when tasting a rouille sauce, the so singing accent of the Mediterranean Provence. If this sauce doesn't offer you a trip to the end of the world like the different spice blends I'm accustomed to offering you (tandoori, garam masala, Lebanese zaatar, etc.), a gustatory escapade on the shores of the Mediterranean is, let's admit it, already quite enjoyable.
