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.

300g pumpkin
50g butter
1/2 chilli
100g milk
50g cream
100g pumpkin diced and roasted
100g Parmesan
1) Remove the flesh and seeds from the pumpkin. Roast in tin foil with a little olive oil for 30 minutes at 180 or until the pumpkin becomes soft
2) Once the pumpkin is roasted place into a pan with chilli, butter and add the milk. Bring to the boil, extract part of the liquid and blend with a hand blender until smooth. Pass through a sieve to create a purée.
3) With the 100g of diced pumpkin, blanch in boiling water for 30 seconds to a minute then roast in a pan to add flavour, maybe add a slice of garlic and a little rosemary.
4) Add the roasted diced pumpkin to the pumpkin purée. Add the 50g of fresh Parmesan and stir to a thick paste
5) Transfer the pumpkin mixture to an oven-proof dish, top with extra grated Parmesan, and for an added extra flavour add some toasted pine nuts or bread crumbs. Cover with either tin foil or a lid and bake in the oven for 7-10 minutes at 180. This will help to toast the top of the crumble. Remove the tin foil and bake for 1-2 minutes just to finish the top completely.
A good serving suggestion with this is either a scoop of cottage cheese or a nice scoop of mascarpone and fresh bread- a great vegetarian alternative.
