El allioli
El allioli (del catalán-valenciano all i oli, 'ajo y aceite'),1 ajolio (en Aragón), ajoaceite (en la zona castellanoparlante de la Comunidad Valenciana, Murcia o Albacete), ajiaceite o ajaceite es una salsa típica de la gastronomía mediterránea (valenciana, catalana, balear, murciana, granadina...) formada por la emulsión de aceite de oliva y ajo.2
Suele emplearse como condimento en algunos de los platos, en especial de preparaciones a base de pescado o marisco. a veces como una salsa servida por separado. Forma parte de las salsas a base de ajo. Es frecuente en regiones e islas del arco mediterráneo entre España, Francia e Italia, que va desde Granada a Calabria, pasando por Cartagena (Murcia), Alicante (Comunidad Valenciana, Cataluña),3 Provenza (donde se denomina Le Grand Aïoli) o Liguria. En zonas de África se elabora una preparación muy similar denominada Toum. Entre estos platos podríamos citar el universal arroz a banda y su caldero que lo acompaña.

1 medium onion, finely chopped
3 cups water or vegetable stock
Sea salt or soy sauce to taste
