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.This is a very simple salad. The samphire came from Looe and the edible flowers were a combination of borage, hollyhocks, marigolds, nasturtiams and violets, all from the Port Eliot estate.
A handful of samphire (approx 160g/5oz)
Sea-salt and freshly ground black pepper
2tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
4 ripe tomatoes
1 burrata (a type of south Italian soft cows' milk cheese) or buffalo mozzarella
The juice and zest of one lemon
A large handful of edible flowers
Bring a pan of salted water to the boil. Trim the woody stalks and drop the samphire in to it. Cook for a minute. Drain and dress while warm with half a tablespoon of olive oil.
Slice the tomatoes and season with sea-salt and black pepper and put on a plate. Tear the cheese with your hands and place with the samphire on the tomatoes. Dress with the lemon and olive oil. Scatter over the flowers. Serve immediately.
