Mustering up the inspiration for weeknight meals is never the most exciting use of time, even for those who love spending moments in the kitchen. With an emphasis on efficiency and simplicity, the weeknight meal can so often fall to the wayside, at the mercy of quick pastas and the regular sad omelette in exchange for time and adequate fuel.

For those who are looking to add new recipes to their catalogue in the name of spicing things up, or simply need a touch point of inspiration for tonight's dinner, We're rounding up five simple recipes we are cooking this week, below.

Eggplant that has been torched within an inch of its life and then gloriously softened by the steam its own heat creates. When eggplant turns into silky ribbons of flesh there is nothing better. Spoon garlic infused olive oil over top and serve with crusty bread. Whether a whole meal or a swift snack, it's likely to do the trick nicely.
