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.

A couple of knobs of butter, softened
4 duck eggs
For the crust
1 small onion, peeled, halved and finely chopped
2 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed
A couple of good knobs of butter
50-60g fresh white breadcrumbs
2tbsp chopped parsley
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Pre heat the oven to 200C/gas mark 6. First make the crust: melt the butter in a pan and gently cook the onion and garlic for 2-3 minutes until soft.
Remove from the heat and transfer to a food processor with the breadcrumbs and parsley. Season and blend for just a few seconds until well mixed.
Place the field mushrooms on a grill tray, rub over the butter and season, then cook for about 3-4 minutes on each side. Turn the mushrooms dark side (gills up) and spoon over the crust. Bake for about 10-12 minutes or until the crust is golden. Meanwhile, poach the duck eggs and drain on kitchen paper, then place one in the centre of each mushroom and serve.
