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.

4 guinea fowl eggs
250g asparagus with the woody ends removed
A couple of handfuls of small tasty salad leaves and herbs
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the dressing
¾tbsp sherry vinegar
3tbsp walnut oil
Bring a pan of water to the boil, carefully lower in the guinea fowl eggs and soft boil for 3 minutes, then run under the cold tap for a few minutes until they are cool enough to handle. Carefully shell them and put to one side. Cook the asparagus in boiling, salted water for 2-3 minutes, or until tender, then drain.
To serve, whisk the sherry vinegar and walnut oil together and season to taste. Cut the asparagus into 3 on the angle and arrange on serving plates with the leaves. Place the guinea fowl egg in the centre and spoon over the dressing.
