What would an artist be without his paints? What would Italian food be without garlic? A world without garlic is like a day without sunshine. The trees just wouldn't grow and the flowers wouldn't bloom. I couldn't image making an Italian dish without garlic. Garlic is an essential ingredient that should never be avoided. I usually dab a little behind my ears before cooking, it seems to make the dish turn out better. "Italian perfume" always gets me in the mood to eat. Garlic has been enjoyed for six thousand years. Ancient Egyptians worshipped it and Romans and Greeks revealed in it. Although American's adopted garlic late in the twentieth century, it is now widely used in every major recipe throughout the country. A recipe without garlic is just plain ordinary food. Unless you're a dessert, though garlic ice cream doesn't sound too bad does it? The succulent combination of scallops and garlic is just too much to ask for. Inside fancy fan shaped shells lay these sweet and tender morsels of meat. Whether broiled, fried or baked, scallops make a wonderful dinner any time of the year. To celebrate this delicious combination of scallops and garlic, I would like to share with you one of my favorite family recipes "Scallops and garlic in a tomato cream sauce". I make this dish at least three times a year or when I'm in the mood for something elegant and delicious.
