Condiment with four vowels in its name

AIOLI

This creamy garlic sauce often pairs with Mediterranean dishes and shares its first three letters with a common artificial intelligence term.

This clue points to a creamy garlic sauce called "aioli," which fits because its name contains four vowels: A, I, O, and I. The word itself comes from the Catalan term for garlic and oil, the two main ingredients. Since the clue specifies counting vowels, you just tally them up—A-I-O-I—to confirm the answer.
