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 butter works well on simply cooked vegetables or melted into a baked potato as an easy, mid-week supper. I also like it with grilled sea bass, halibut or on roasted pumpkin and vegetables. The possibilities are endless.
2 large handfuls mixed herbs such as chives, flat-leaf parsley, basil and mint
4 shallots, peeled and finely chopped
The juice of one lemon
2tsp Dijon mustard
250g/8oz unsalted butter, at room temperature
Sea-salt and freshly ground black pepper
Bring a pan of well-salted water to the boil. Add the herbs and shallots and blanch for 2 minutes. Refresh in iced water and gently wring out. Place in a food processor with the lemon juice, mustard and butter and blend. Add as much salt and pepper as you feel is sufficient. Roll the mixture on a sheet of foil and place in the fridge.
I served it here with roasted vegetables and blanched broccoli. Just place a generous dollop onto the hot vegetables and serve as the butter begins to melt.
