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 remember eating hamburgers from a takeaway on the Weymouth seafront when I was a student and the sweetcorn relish stuck in my mind. It came from a huge catering jar but there was something about it that gave the hamburger a real lift. Here's a version that you can try at home.
1 medium onion, peeled, halved and finely chopped
1 medium red chilli, finely chopped
a red pepper, seeded, halved and finely chopped
1tbsp vegetable or rapeseed oil
1tbsp cider vinegar
1tbsp granulated sugar
500ml vegetable stock
The kernels from 3 cooked corn on the cob
1tbsp cornflour
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Gently cook the onion, chilli and red pepper in the rapeseed oil for 4-5 minutes until soft, add the vinegar and sugar and simmer for a couple of minutes, then add the stock and sweetcorn and bring to the boil. Dilute the cornflour in a little water and stir into the relish. Simmer gently for 15 minutes then take out and blend about one-tenth of the relish and return it to the pan, simmer for another 5 minutes, then leave to cool. Serve with a burger.
