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.

Toasted seed and tahini slaw

Serves 4-6 as a side

4 tbsp mixed seeds (eg sunflower, sesame, pumpkin, linseed)
4 tbsp plain yoghurt
1 garlic clove, crushed or grated
1 tbsp light tahini (sesame) paste
Juice of 1 lemon
½ savoy cabbage, core and tough ribs removed, leaves very finely shredded
2 carrots, peeled and coarsely grated
1 small or ½ larger onion (red or white), very finely sliced
Salt and black pepper

Toast the mixed seeds in a dry frying pan for 1-2 minutes over a medium heat, until fragrant. Mix the yoghurt, garlic, tahini and lemon juice in a large bowl. Add the cabbage, carrot, onion and toasted seeds, season with salt and pepper and toss gently to combine.

You can also use a shredded red cabbage as a variation.
