Aubergine shakshuka

Laced with garlic and cumin, this aubergine-scattered shakshuka is spicy, rich and absolutely delicious, making it just the thing for a hearty, laid-back weekend brunch (though we won't judge if you fancy making it for lunch or dinner instead). Ready in under half an hour, this tomatoey feast will feed six hungry people; simply serve it up with warm pittas or toasted sourdough on the side, and let the dunking commence.

Mussels rassa

In the mood for something that feels super-fancy, but can be made super-quickly? Mussels rassa is just the ticket! In this Indian-inspired recipe, salty, meaty mussels are paired with a gorgeous sauce that's creamy, spicy and zesty in equal measure. For the tastiest meal possible, make sure your mussels are spankingly fresh – and when they're ready, serve them up with plain rice and a generous scattering of chopped coriander.
