Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

2 hare fillets from the saddle
60g spelt or pearl barley, soaked for 2 hours in cold water
A couple of good knobs of butter
A couple of handfuls of treviso, trevisiano or radicchio
A handful of other red salad leaves such as red mustard leaf and amaranth
A handful of flat parsley leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the dressing

1tbsp good quality red wine vinegar
4tbsp extra-virgin olive oil

Cook the spelt in simmering salted water for 20-30 minutes or until soft, then drain.

To make the dressing, mix the red wine vinegar with the olive oil and season. Heat the butter in a heavy-based frying pan, season the hare fillets and fry on a medium heat for 3-4 minutes on each side, keeping them nice and pink. Mix the treviso and salad leaves, season, toss in the dressing and arrange on plates. Slice the hare fillets into 6-8 slices on the angle and arrange on the salad.
