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.

600-300g pork fillet or tenderloin
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4 medium heads of chicory
3-4tbsp olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Juice and zest of 1 orange
60g butter
½tbsp chopped parsley
Preheat the oven to 180C/gas mark 5. If the chicories are large, cut them in half lengthways. Lay them in a roasting tray, season and spoon over a couple of tablespoons of the olive oil.
Cook for 20 minutes, basting and turning every so often, then pour in the orange juice, zest and butter and continue cooking for another 20 minutes, basting every so often until the juice has almost evaporated.
Meanwhile, preheat a ribbed griddle or heavy frying pan, season the pork fillets and lightly brush with oil. Cook for 5-6 minutes on each side, keeping them nice and pink; leave to rest for a couple of minutes.
To serve, cut the pork into 1cm-thick slices, arrange on warmed serving plates with the chicory. Stir the remaining olive oil and chopped parsley into the chicory cooking pan; spoon the juices over.
