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. 250g asparagus, trimmed of any woody stalks
2 spring onions, finely chopped
2 medium free-range eggs, beaten
A good knob of butter
sea salt and freshly ground white pepper
Cook the asparagus in boiling salted water for about 2-3 minutes, depending on the thickness, until they still have a bit of bite to them, then refresh them in cold water for a couple of minutes.
Mix the spring onion with the eggs and season well. Heat the butter in the pan, add the beaten egg and stir on a low heat for about a minute until the egg begins to set, then remove from the heat, leave for another minute to let the base of the omelette set, then lay about 3 spears of asparagus if they're thin (one if they're thick), at the end nearest to you and roll the omelette up as tightly as possible and turn out on to a board. Leave to cool a little and cut into 2cm thick slices and arrange on a serving dish.
