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.4 plump scallops, trimmed
30g/1oz butter
200g/7oz borage, stems and leaves, chopped
1 leek, finely sliced
15g/1/2oz radicchio and chicory leaves, chopped
2 tablespoons olive oil
Salt and pepper
20 bladder campion leaves
30 small, sweet strawberry grapes (kartizze)
2 large rosehips
Heat the butter in a heavy pan and when sizzling fry the scallops for 30 seconds on each side till golden. Remove and drain on kitchen paper. Reserve the butter.
In another pan, heat the oil and cook the borage, leek, radicchio and chicory leaves until reduced by a third. Season. Take this mixture and, using a mould, make two bases for the scallops. Turn out on to serving plates. Place scallops on top and decorate with bladder campion leaves.
Heat the grapes in the pan with the reserved butter, and, when the juices start to run, scatter them as a garnish around the dish.
