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.

1 bunch of rainbow chard
2 shallots – finely sliced
50ml of nice posh vinegar (sherry, muscatel or a good white wine one)
1 tbs of sugar
1 tbs of pine nuts (toasted) + extra for sprinkling
½ tbs of sultanas
Sweat down the shallots in some olive oil until nice and soft.
Add the vinegar, sugar, sultanas and pine nuts and reduce down until syrupy.
Separate the chard leaves from the stalks – chop the stalks into manageable chunks. Then blanch seperately in some salted boiling water (the stalks will take about 4-5 mins and the leaves only 1-2mins).
When hot, toss the freshly cooked chard into the syrupy, sweet and sour mess, adorn with some toasted pine nuts and serve.
