If you want to try something different, but what to be in and out of the kitchen in the flash, this recipe could fit the bill.

Here's how: 

1 Heat a large heavy-based pot. When hot, add the mussels, garlic, onion and bay leaves. Toss and cook for 1 minute. Add wine, cover and cook over a high heat for 4 minutes.

2 Add butter, parsley and tomatoes. Cook for 3 minutes, season with salt and pepper, then serve.
