  12                    Tiny pastry cases (about
                        -3cm across)
  12       md           Scallops
   2                    Cloves garlic
   5       oz           Full fat cream cheese
                        The juice of half a lemon
                        Oil for frying
                        Caviar to decorate.

  Separate the corals of the scallops from the bodies.
  Chop the garlic and fry it in a little oil until done,
  but not browned. Add the scallop corals briefly until
  just cooked. Blend contents of the pan with the cream
  cheese, preferably in a blender, until it is very
  smooth. Season and add in some of the lemon juice to
  taste.
  
  Place a little of the cheese mixture into each pastry
  case.
  
  Slice each scollop into two or three disks about 0.5
  cm thick, and marinade them for anout 10 mins in the
  lemon juice. Lightly fry the scallops, lay on the
  pastry cases, and decorate with caviar.
  
  Serve immediately.
  
  This is absolutely delicious - makes a nice light
  starter or an amuse-bouche for a longer meal.
