Ina Garten Sriracha Rouille

Ina Garten Sriracha Rouille

Sriracha Rouille is Ina Garten’s modern, spicy take on the classic Provençal garlic sauce. Traditionally, rouille is made with garlic, olive oil, breadcrumbs, and saffron, served as a garnish for bouillabaisse or other seafood dishes. Ina simplifies the method and adds a touch of sriracha for a spicy, creamy emulsion that can be used as a dipping sauce, spread, or finishing touch.

It’s essentially a flavour-packed garlic mayo—with a kick—that’s versatile, easy to make, and bursting with character.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 large egg yolk, at room temperature

  • 1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lemon juice

  • 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard

  • 2 garlic cloves, minced

  • 1/4 teaspoon kosher salt

  • 1/2 cup olive oil (mild or light-flavoured preferred)

  • 1 tablespoon sriracha (adjust to taste)

  • Optional: pinch of cayenne pepper for extra heat

Instructions

  • Blend the base – In a small food processor or blender, combine the egg yolk, lemon juice, Dijon mustard, garlic, and salt. Blend for 15–20 seconds until smooth.

  • Slowly add oil – With the processor running, slowly drizzle in the olive oil in a thin stream until the mixture thickens into a creamy emulsion. This step is key to getting a proper mayonnaise-like texture.

  • Add sriracha and blend – Once the sauce has emulsified, add the sriracha and pulse just until combined. Taste and adjust seasoning or spice level if needed.

  • Serve or chill – Use immediately, or transfer to a container and refrigerate. It keeps well in the fridge for up to 3–4 days.
