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.I'm lucky to have a selection of great Turkish food stores on my doorstep that are open for most of the day and night. You can buy virtually anything at any time of the day, from goat's tripe to giant African snails. One of my favourite Turkish shop ingredients, however, is fresh sheep's cheese, which I have used in this recipe. You help yourself from in the fridge; it's somewhere between feta and a fresh ewe's milk cheese.
300g podded weight of young broad beans
A handful of small rocket leaves, washed and dried
The leaves from a few sprigs of mint, washed and dried
A few sprigs of coriander, washed and dried
1 fresh sheep's cheese weighing about 200g
For the dressing
The juice of half a lemon
1tbs white wine vinegar
80ml extra virgin olive oil
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Cook the broad beans in boiling salted water, drain and leave to cool. Whisk all of the ingredients together for the dressing. Toss the broad beans, rocket and herbs in the dressing and season. Arrange on plates and break the cheese into nuggets on top.
