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.Pan-fried Welsh lamb steak
1 clove of garlic, crushed
Zest of a lemon (the bigger and riper the lemon, the better!)
Sea salt
200g leg of Welsh lamb steak (with bright red meat and a good marbling of fat)
120g potatoes (charlotte potatoes are by far the tastiest)
50g leeks (look for a healthy green colour - buy locally for the freshest produce)
15g butter
Handful of rosemary
50ml cream
Finely chop the rosemary then mix with the garlic purée, lemon zest and a generous amount coarse sea salt. Rub this mixture into both sides of the lamb steak.
Boil the potatoes, leave to cool then cut into quarters. Wash and finely chop the leeks. Heat a frying pan, add a little olive oil and season with salt and pepper. As the meat touches the pan, turn the heat down and cook through. Do this for 5-6 minutes then repeat on the other side.
Remove lamb from the pan, add some butter followed by the leeks. Cook until soft and then add the potatoes. Remove the rosemary leaves from their stalks and add to the potatoes. Press the potatoes down with the back of spoon so that they are just smashed. Add the cream and season with black pepper and salt.
For mint sauce, mix 2-3 tbsps of freshly chopped mint with one dessert spoon of caster sugar and 125ml balsamic vinegar.
