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.Simple but delicious, this quick and easy barbecue dish makes a grand starter or nibble. Skewering the livers on the rosemary twigs is difficult, but it's made easier if you choose large, perky livers.
150ml port
2 garlic cloves, crushed
Sea salt and ground black pepper
2 x 250g tubs of chicken livers
12 long, woody rosemary twigs
1 tbsp unsalted butter, melted
Mix the port and garlic in a bowl, and add a couple of twists of black pepper. Pick over the livers and select the largest and firmest. Add them to the port, cover, and put in the refrigerator to marinate for anything between 12 and 18 hours.
Strip the leaves from your rosemary twigs, leaving a tuft at the end. Scatter them over the coals to add scented smoke.
When ready to cook, skewer the livers and rest them on a piece of kitchen foil. Place the entire foil sheet over gentle coals and cook for six to seven minutes, turning often – put a doubled sheet of foil under the bushy ends so they don't burn. When cooked, the livers should be pink in the middle. Brush with melted butter, season with salt, and serve.
