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.

Coolea is a lovely Irish cheese that has the characteristics of a Dutch cheese.

4-5 medium-sized leeks
4 slices of sourdough
2-3tbsp olive oil
70-80g coolea
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Cook the leeks in boiling salted water for 10-12 minutes until tender, then remove and leave to cool. Cut the leeks into -1cm lozenges. Toast the bread, arrange the leeks on top, season and spoon over the oil. Shave the coolea or Parmesan with a sharp knife; arrange on the leeks.
