Agliata

thumb|Fried cauliflower with agliata sauce (right) Agliata (from , ; ; , ) is a pungent, savoury garlic sauce and condiment in Italian cuisine used to flavour and accompany grilled or boiled meats, fish and vegetables. It is first attested in ancient Rome, and it remains part of the cuisine of Liguria. Porrata is a similar sauce prepared with leeks in place of garlic.

==Preparation== Agliata is prepared with crushed garlic, olive oil, bread crumbs, vinegar, salt and pepper. The bread crumbs are soaked in vinegar, which is then squeezed out, after which the garlic is whisked or beaten into the mixture. Its preparation includes the emulsion of the ingredients to prevent separation, which is performed by the olive oil being added in a slow drizzle while the mixture is constantly whisked. It generally accompanies grilled or boiled meat, fish and vegetables.
