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.Adding a little spice to oysters is rather a nice way to help them down, especially with a glass of sherry. However, I wouldn't interfere with the pureness of natives and recommend sticking to rock oysters for this recipe.
8 oysters, shucked
For the dressing
1 spring onion, finely chopped
1 small red chilli, seeded and finely chopped
3cm cucumber, halved, seeded and finely chopped with the skin on
1tbsp coriander, finely chopped
The juice of 1 lime
1tbsp red wine vinegar
Combine all of the ingredients for the dressing and transfer to a small bowl for serving. You can either dress the oysters with the dressing or let your guests help themselves.
