The long cooking in this dish is of course the chickpeas, as it requires soaking - at least 4 hours. It is best to soak overnight. Next, prepare according to instructions on the package: fill with water in the ratio 1:5, allow to boil, cook for 10 minutes on high heat and 1 hour on a small. Do not have to cook the chickpeas before cooking them meals, you can do it in advance.

We'll need to do some more cooking already neposredstvenno before you work with the dish. Relieve pepper cored, cut into small squares, finely chop onion. Shrimp can be taken fresh or frozen (but preferably grey, not welded, so they remain gorazo great taste and vitamins), pre-thaw them. Shrimp need a lot, tiger. However, I have they are not very large, though, and sold fresh-frozen and was called tiger. Such as my shrimp need 2 times more, and if You managed to get hold of these giants, maybe they still will need to pull out the crown, about this for example here: http://www.povarenok .ru/recipes/show/814 56/

2 cloves of garlic finely chopped, bacon, cut into ribbons crosswise, to prepare a liquid. I must say that this recipe is excerpted from the book Gordon Ramsay and a little redesigned for the realities. In particular, he uses chorizo, dry sherry and sherry vinegar. Sausages I replaced the bacon more affordable, but the alcohol was thinking for quite some time... Write that is worthy to replace sherry's impossible, so I just at your own risk replaced in sherry wine and sherry vinegar for the white balsamic turned out pretty well, although, of course, far from the original.

So. In a large skillet, heat 2 tbsp olive oil, add bell pepper, onion and bacon, fry a couple of minutes. The add the garlic and fry another couple of minutes. Do not forget to interfere! Next add wine and balsamic vinegar (you can substitute vinegar+honey), simmer until evaporation of the greater part of the liquid, add the chickpeas, pour with broth and stew for 10 minutes under the lid.

When chickpea was about to protushitsya, fry the shrimp in a couple tablespoons of olive oil, adding 2 flattened garlic cloves and prisoliv, literally 30-45 seconds on each side. Add to the chickpeas, shrimp, rosemary (originally Basil), spinach leaves and simmer, stirring for a few minutes to let the spinach "faded".
