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.

Finely chop half the onion and cook it gently in a good knob of butter until soft. Push each clove through a bayleaf and stud the onion with the anchored leaves. Put the milk, nutmeg and the studded onion in the saucepan with the cooked onion and bring to the boil. Season and simmer for 10-15 minutes. Remove from the heat and leave to infuse for about 30 minutes. Remove and discard the studded onion.
Add the breadcrumbs and simmer gently for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Pour one-third of the sauce into a liquidiser and blend until smooth, then return to the pan and add the 25g butter. Stir the sauce well and check the seasoning.
