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.

For the lemon dressing, place the lemon juice in a mixing bowl. Add a small amount of sugar to reduce the bitterness. Whisk to a froth and slowly add oil until it forms an emulsion. Season.
Place the shrimps in a warm place, so the butter slightly softens. Toast the sourdough and dress the frisée with the lemon oil.
Turn out the shrimps on to the centre of a plate, arrange the frisée around to form a ring.
For the lobster oil, roast the shells in a heavy-based pan, add the chopped vegetables and cook for about eight minutes. Cover with the oil and leave on a low heat for two hours to infuse. Blend and pass through some muslin.
Place a piece of sourdough on each plate. Drizzle the lobster oil over the frisée. Place the chervil on the shrimps and serve.
