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.Egg mayonnaise is one of those simple and delicious retro classics that you very rarely see on restaurant menus these days. But simple though it may be, it's far from boring, especially if you use a free-range duck egg and some top-notch mayonnaise.
I've added some asparagus here to make the dish a bit more interesting, as well as seasonal.
4 free-range duck eggs
400-500g asparagus with the woody ends removed
6-8tbsp good-quality or home-made mayonnaise
A little cayenne pepper to serve
Cook the asparagus in boiling salted water for 4-5 minutes until tender, then drain and refresh under cold water.
Bring another pan of water to the boil and carefully lower in the duck eggs with a slotted spoon, simmer for 5-6 minutes depending on size, then refresh under cold water for a few minutes.
To serve, peel the duck eggs, cut the asparagus in half or, if you prefer, keep them whole, arrange the asparagus on serving plates, place the egg on top and spoon over the mayonnaise. Sprinkle with the cayenne pepper.
