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.

2 green peppers (or red)
1 large, mild Spanish onion
Cold-pressed, extra-virgin olive oil
1 (or more) garlic cloves
Sea salt
Roast or grill the vegetables (another way, tricky but effective, is to scorch them over a gas flame, turning until blackened outside, tender inside). To ease the skinning slip them, while still hot, into a plastic bag and seal. After 10 minutes the steam they generate makes then easy to peel.
Remove cores and seeds, trim into neat lengths and arrange in strips. Crush garlic finely and sprinkle on top. Drizzle with your best oil. Season with salt. Let flavours soak in and serve cold with country bread.
