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.I like to scramble eggs slowly over a very low heat with nothing more than organic eggs and unsalted butter. The result is simple but shamelessly suave.
80g/3oz unsalted butter
8 large organic, free-range eggs
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper
Stalks of roasted cardoon to serve
Cut the butter into slivers. Crack the eggs into a bowl, add half the butter, a pinch of salt and a little pepper. Beat to combine. Melt a few more slivers of butter in a small non-stick pan – remove from the heat once it has melted and pour in the eggs. Return to the lowest heat, stirring continuously.
Add the remaining butter bit by bit and cook for eight to 10 minutes – the result should be soft, glossy and the consistency of curd. If the eggs begin to cook in folds, the heat is too high; remove the saucepan every 15 seconds or so to reduce the heat. Serve alongside the warm cardoon.
