Total time: 20 minutes

Preparation time: 20 minutes
Cooking time: None
Cost: Economical
Difficulty: Very easy

Ingredients

* 5 Roma tomatoes
* 1 onion
* 3 small red chilis
* 3 blades of chive
* Coarse salt and peppercorns
* 2 tbsp. oil
* Optional: a pinch of grated combava zest


Method

1. Cut up the tomatoes (preferably seeded) in very small dice; it's easier to chop them, but the texture will not be as good.
2. Finely chop the onion and chives.
3. In a stone mortar, mash the red chilies (with the seeds if you want the rougail to be very hot) with the peppercorns and coarse salt.
4. Combine everything with the oil in a small container (add combava to taste).
