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.

4 leaves of Swiss chard
4 tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper
1 head of endive
2 slightly green tomatoes, sliced into eighth-of-an-inch rounds
1 hard-boiled egg
12 small black olives, stones removed
The juice of one lemon
Start by placing a pot of well-salted water on to boil. Rinse the chard under running water to remove any dirt and chop into rough one- to two-inch slices. Once the water is boiling, add the chard and cook for three minutes. Drain and allow to cool.
When the chard is at room temperature, chop finely and place in a saucepan with a tablespoon of the oil. Season with salt and pepper, set over a low heat and cook, stirring every now and then for 30 minutes or until the chard is soft and dark. Remove from the heat and allow to cool.
Wash the endive and remove the outer leaves, then slice into half-inch pieces and place in a bowl with the slices of tomato. Peel and grate the egg and add to the bowl, scatter over the chard and olives and dress with the rest of the olive oil and lemon juice, season with salt and freshly ground pepper, and toss together until all the ingredients are well coated with the oil. Arrange on a large plate and serve.
