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.

Serves 6-8

4 Cyprus potatoes (or King Edwards)
3 celery heads
1kg/2lb clams
Sea-salt
1 glass Pinot Grigio
3 small dried chillis, crumbled
40ml/2fl oz extra-virgin olive oil

Heat the oven to 180C/350F/Gas4. Peel the potatoes and cut into small wedges. Remove the outside greenery on the celery sticks, discard and cut the remaining yellow heart into similar-sized pieces to the potato.

Clean the clams by rinsing under cold, running water. Season the celery and potato with sea-salt and dried chilli. Roast in olive oil and the Pinot Grigio in the oven for 20 minutes. When soft and lightly coloured, add the clams and continue to roast until they have opened up. This will take no longer than 4 to 5 minutes. Serve immediately.
