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.WE END our series on cooking with peppers with a simple recipe from Terry Eaton of New Milton, Hampshire. He writes: 'It is called biperrada in Spain and was originally lifted from Cocina Espanola by Bianca Serrano.' Mr Eaton will receive a bottle of 1991 Auxerrois made by Wyken Vineyards in Stanton, Suffolk.
Biperrada Serves 4 Ingredients: 1 clove garlic, peeled and roughly chopped 1 Spanish onion, peeled and chopped 4 bell peppers, seeded, cored and cut into long strips 4 ripe tomatoes, stemmed and chopped 4 large eggs olive oil salt and pepper Preparation: Heat 2tbs olive oil in a large frying pan. Gently fry peppers for 5 minutes. Add onion (and more oil if necessary), mix well and cover pan to sweat well until onions are translucent and peppers tender, about 20 minutes. Then remove lid, raise heat and cook briefly so onions turn golden but are not burnt. Add tomatoes, tossing with onions. Add garlic. Gently whisk eggs and reserve.
When the mix is sweet, molten but not too wet, pour the eggs over it. Season as they set. Serve with hot bread and a garlicky green salad.
