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.

400g button mushrooms
600g beef
2 tbsp olive oil
1 onion, chopped
3 garlic cloves, crushed
2 large carrots
3 rosemary stalks
1 bay leaf
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
2 tbsp tomato paste
1 can chopped tomatoes
400ml beef stock (or water)

Heat a tbsp of olive oil in a large frying pan over a high heat and brown the beef (you may need to do this in batches); remove from the pan with a slotted spoon and set aside.
Next add another tbsp of olive oil and the mushrooms and cook until crispy and browned on the outside.
Reduce the heat and add the onions, garlic, carrots, bay and rosemary. Cook until the onions have softened, about 10 mins.
Turn the heat up and add the balsamic, tomato paste and chopped tomatoes.
Cook for a couple of minutes before adding lentils, stock and returning meat to the pan. Season. Bring to boil, then reduce to simmer for 10 minutes
Check for seasoning and serve.
