Sauce Rui
Rui is a French mayonnaise with the scent of garlic, saffron and red pepper, a classic accompaniment to fish soups and goulash. To make a quick version of this sauce at home, grind 2 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed, with 3 tbsp of mayonnaise, 1 tbsp of red pepper and 1 tbsp of tomato paste in a blender. Season to taste.
