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.This summer I have become obsessed with the use of lemon leaves in everything from slow-cooked dishes to marinades. Their clear, clean, citrus flavour lends a fragrant note to dishes that is both complex and completely simple. This is a delicious yet very simple dish that originates, l think, from the Amalfi Coast.
2 very fresh buffalo mozzarella, torn in half
8 lemon leaves
8 toothpicks or little twigs to secure the lemon leaves
a pinch of sea salt
a few grindings of black pepper
25 ml/1fl oz extra virgin olive oil
Lay four citrus leaves on your kitchen work surface, place the mozzarella in the centre of each leaf and season. Drizzle with just a little olive oil. Lay a leaf on top of each and secure both ends with a twig (or toothpick). Lay on the barbecue and grill for around 30 seconds. Turn gently and grill for another 30 seconds on the other side.
