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.

Rillettes:
Place all the ingredients for the marinade in a large cast-iron casserole, bring to a rolling boil, then immerse the mackerel in the marinade, cover with a lid, turn off the heat and leave to cool for several hours or overnight.
Remove the mackerel to a board, and carefully fillet them. Place the fillets in a large bowl and mash with a fork, then add the mayonnaise, the cream and chives, and blend together. Season with salt, black pepper and a little cayenne pepper, add the vinegar and chopped shallot and mix again. Cover and chill if not serving straight away, but bring back to room temperature before eating.
