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.I love this dish. It's from a tradition of French cooking from the South-west. A lot of comfort food relies on stodge. This doesn't - you can have it with salad, vegetables or just on its own. It's as easy as toast. I live with two vegetarians, my husband and daughter, so it wouldn't occur to me to cook meat.
Ingredients
700g potatoes
200g savoy cabbage, diced
1 clove garlic, crushed and chopped
1-2 green chillies, seeds removed, diced
Sea salt
Fresly ground black pepper
1 egg, beaten
5tbsp olive oil
200g cherry tomatoes
150g Camembert, finely sliced
Method
Pre-heat the oven to 180C/gas mark 4. Cook the potatoes for 15 minutes, then drain and, when cool enough, cut into 3cm cubes and place in a bowl. Add the diced cabbage, garlic, chilli, seasoning and egg and mix well.
Oil a metal baking dish with some of the olive oil and place in the oven to heat. Add the remaining oil to the potato mixture. Remove the baking dish from the oven, spoon in the potato mixture, add the tomatoes and top with finely sliced Camembert. Bake for 45 minutes until golden.
