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.

Preheat the oven to 200C (390F). Line a baking tray with baking paper. Place the fennel and figs on the tray. Combine the oil, salt, pepper, vinegar and sugar, pour over the fennel and figs and bake for 10 minutes. Sprinkle the lamb with salt and pepper and add to the pan. Cook for a further 20 minutes or until the lamb is cooked to your liking. To serve, place the fennel mixture on serving plates, slice the lamb into cutlets, place on the fennel, then spoon over the pan juices.
