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.

2 red peppers
50g very soft goat's cheese or goat's curd
2 slices of sourdough
½tbsp capers
1 tbsp olive oil
A few sprigs of bush basil or basil leaves
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Preheat a grill to maximum temperature. Halve the peppers, lay them on a baking tray, skin side up, and grill until the skins are black; then transfer to a bowl and cover with clingfilm and leave for 10 minutes. Remove the skin and any seeds and stalks.
Grill the bread on both sides and brush with olive oil. Arrange the peppers on the bread, then break the goat's cheese into small pieces on top of that.
Scatter over the capers and basil, season and spoon over a little more olive oil.
