This warm salad of spicy prawns, chickpeas and pine nuts comes together in just 15 minutes and requires very little effort. I used a small chilli pepper for a little heat, leave it out if you don't like. Swap the arugula for baby spinach or mâche and pinenuts for cashews or hazelnuts. Enjoy it with some homemade bread or cooked wholegrains.

 
  • 450 g Prawns, shelled
  • 11 clove Garlic, thinly sliced
  • 11 Small chilli pepper, sliced
  • 12 tbsp Chicken schmaltz or olive oil
  • 11/2 tsp Paprika powder
  • 1150 g Chickpeas, cooked
  • 12 tbsp Pine nuts, toasted
  • 1Sea salt and freshly milled black pepper
  • 150 g Arugula
  • 1/2 Lemon, juiced
  • 1Sea salt and freshly milled black pepper
  • 12 tbsp Balsamic glaze
  • 14 tbsp Olive oil
  1. Wash the prawns and pat dry. Peel and thinly slice the garlic. Thiny slice the chilli pepper too. Deseed if needed. Rinse the chickpeas under cold water and drain well.
  2. Heat the schmalty or oil in a pan and fry the prawns for about 3 minutes. Add the paprika powder garlic and chilli pepper. Saute briefly, then add in chickpeas and pinenuts, season with salt and pepper. Saute for a further 2 minutes.
  3. Wash the arugula and dry thoroughly in a salad spinner or gently shake them in a kitchen towel. Mix together the lemon juice, balsamic glaze, salt and pepper. Stir in the olive oil. Mix all the ingredients together in a bowl and arrange on a platter.

  8. Love shrimp, love chickpeas. So this is right up my alley! And I'm intrigued by the idea of sautéing the shrimp in chicken schmalz. Have to try that.

  15. I've never thought of combining prawns and chickpeas before, but since I love both ingredients, I'm definitely willing to give it a try.

  16. Prawns so go together with Australia tho' their price has become astronomical ! Have never put them together with chickpeas tho' or, for that matter, pine nuts - so am eager to try :) ! Have seen 'chicken schmaltz' used by quite a few food bloggers - must see whether we sell it at the supermarket? I know the German name simply as bacon fat :) !!! But it's easy enough to make at home . . ,
