Preparation steps

1.

Soak the chickpeas overnight, drain, cover with fresh water and simmer for about 40 minutes, until tender.  Drain and rinse in a colander. Let cool.

Rinse the spinach and pat dry. Plate the spinach and top with the chickpeas. 

2.

For the dressing: Whisk together the balsamic vinegar, lemon juice, honey and 6 tablespoons of olive oil. Season with salt.

3.

Rinse the scallops, pat dry and season with pepper. Cut the ham slices lengthwise, wrap around the scallops and secure with a toothpick. Sauté in the remaining olive oil for about 3-4 minutes per side.  Remove from the pan and discard the toothpick.

4.

Top the spinach and chickpeas with the ham-wrapped scallops and drizzle the dressing on top. Garnish with parmesan shavings and fig wedges.
