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.If you grow peas, sugar snaps or snow peas at home, you can harvest the tendrils and pick a few peas to use in this salad. If you don't want to use quail, rabbit or chicken fillets will do just as well.

Oil for brushing
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
A couple of handfuls of pea shoots, washed
10-12 pieces of sugar snaps or mange tout, shredded
Some cooked peas (optional)
For the dressing

Preheat the oven to 220C/gas mark 7. Season the quails and brush with some oil, then roast for 15 minutes. To serve, whisk all of the ingredients together for the dressing and season.
Remove the legs and breast from the quail, cut away all of the meat from the legs, or leave whole and slice the breasts. Toss the pea shoots, shredded mange tout and dressing together and season.
Arrange on plates with the quail meat and spoon over a little more dressing if necessary.
