Harissa Chicken w Peas & Radicchio

Sometimes inspiration for dishes comes in various forms and other times there is little or even no inspiration - tonights dinner came as a consequence of organising my spice drawer - a much needed task. During which time I came across my old friend harissa and the rest fell into place. If you don’t have radicchio try some other lettuce like little gem leaves or even some chard or silverbeet
