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.

This is like a cross between a relish and a salad. It's easy to make and what's more, like the pie, you can make it up to a week before and keep it stored in a Kilner-type jar until you need it. It will go with most picnic foods from pies to cheese and if it's not used up you can take it home in the jar.

2 medium beetroots weighing about 400g, cooked and peeled
1 medium red onion, peeled and finely chopped
60ml balsamic vinegar
60ml water
1tsp chopped thyme leaves
100ml olive oil
2tsp grain mustard
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Put the red onions in a pan with the vinegar, water and thyme, bring to the boil and simmer very gently for 2 minutes.

Meanwhile dice the beetroot into rough 11/2-2cm cubes then mix with the onion mixture, olive oil and mustard, and season. Keep in a sterilised Kilner-type jar for up to a week.
