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.

1 tablespoon olive oil
½ small red onion, finely diced
1 garlic clove, sliced
100g fresh chorizo, diced
1kg mussels
150ml white wine
16 Spanish green olives, such as Manzanilla, pitted and halved
1 thyme sprig
Freshly ground black pepper
1 tablespoon chopped fresh flat-leaf parsley leaves
In a large pan heat the olive oil over a medium heat. Fry onion and the garlic in the olive oil for 3 minutes or just as the garlic changes to golden. Add the chorizo and fry until it starts to crisp – discard some of the fat from the chorizo if it is too much.
Put the mussels in the pan, with the wine, olives and the sprig of thyme and cover. Cook for about 4 minutes or until the mussels have opened; discard any mussels that have remained shut.
Add some fresh black pepper and the chopped parsley and serve immediately.
