I adore harissa! It works so well with eggs. Do you make your own?

I love radicchio! I have some red chicory in the fridge at the moment. What we call red chicory is the long leaved kind. Radicchio is the curled leaf type which is rounder in shape which is I think what you are using.

This is the type of chicory I have at the moment.

I have blanched them for few seconds in warm water, then dry and then started to stuff..

Wednesday night's dinner was a simple courgette, tomato and carrot curry with home made onion bhajis and home made mini poppadums, followed by a rice pudding and a large glass of red

The curry was hotter than usual, possibly because I've recently made a fresh batch of "my" curry powder. The onion bhajis were baked, which is less messy than deep frying them. The poppadums were a bit dryer than they should have been, so I added a drop of water and re-rolled them, but although they were nice and crispy and full of flavour they still didn't seem quite right. That may be because I was using cannellini flour instead of chickpea flour - it doesn't have the same colour for a start, and seems to soak up more liquid than chickpea flour. They tasted fine; it was just the texture that let them down a little bit.
