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.Shaved penny buns with Berkswell
Serves 4
When you have firm, ultra-fresh penny buns or ceps, try not cooking them and just serving them thinly sliced and raw.
Unless you pick your own they can be pretty pricey, so this is a great way to get the most out of a luxury ingredient and, of course, maximise the flavour.
Ingredients
250g firm ceps, cleaned and very thinly sliced
5-6tbsp rapeseed oil
Juice of 1 lemon
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
A handful of small, tasty salad leaves such as land cress, rocket, etc
100-120g mature Berkswell cheese
Put the ceps on a tray, season and pour over the oil and lemon juice, mix well, keeping the mushrooms intact; leave > for 15 minutes, turning occasionally.
To serve, arrange the leaves on serving plates with the mushrooms, pouring any extra marinating juices over them. If the mushrooms have absorbed all of the oil and lemon, just pour a little extra over. Shave the cheese as thinly as possible with a sharp knife, or you can use a vegetable peeler, and scatter over the salad.
