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 simple dish can be served as a snack, for breakfast or as a starter. You could also throw in some peeled brown shrimps or even some crab meat. If you want to make the dish more substantial, then slide it on to a slice of toast.

4 free-range duck eggs
A few good knobs of butter
Salt and freshly ground white pepper
A handful or so of samphire with the woody ends trimmed

Lightly fry the duck eggs in half of the butter, seasoning the whites lightly during cooking, then transfer to warmed serving plates. Meanwhile, melt the rest of the butter in a frying pan and gently cook the samphire over a medium heat for a couple of minutes, stirring every so often. Then spoon over and around the eggs with the butter.
