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.

Burgers are served with a Chinese leaf folded round to make a "bun", with ketchup, mayonnaise, alfalfa, gherkins and a slice of tomato inside. If you don't have a dehydrator, omit the water and eat raw or lightly grilled. Don't skip the flaxseeds – they are the binding agent.

4 sticks celery

3 carrots

1 onion

Small bunch parsley

250g/8oz brazil nuts

60g/2oz flaxseeds, ground

2 tablespoons nutritional yeast flakes

2 tablespoons tamari

125ml/4fl oz water

Roughly chop the celery, carrots, onion and parsley. Put in the food processor with nuts, and process until blended together. Add remaining ingredients, and process again to make a thick paste. On a dehydrator tray, shape into burgers about 1cm ( 1/2in) thick, and dehydrate for seven hours.
