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.The Dai people of southern Yunnan, where China borders Laos and Vietnam, prefer their tomatoes on the green side. If the sun doesn't turn your tomatoes red they will be perfect for this recipe. Otherwise specialist greengrocers now sell special green tomatoes from Italy for salads and cooking. I like to use a mixture of green and red tomatoes. The mint leaves, combined with the slightly acidic green tomato cool the hint of chilli down nicely.

1 clove of garlic, peeled and crushed
1tsp sea salt
1 small mild chilli, finely chopped
Half cup of young mint leaves
Half cup of Thai sweet basil leaves
3 spring onions, trimmed and finely sliced
5-6 green and red tomatoes, thinly sliced
1 tbsp chilli oil
Put the garlic, salt, chilli, mint, Thai basil and spring onions into a food processor and coarsely blend. Add the tomatoes and chilli oil and blend again until they are finely chopped, like a salsa.
Serve piled up in a salad bowl, and offer this as part of a selection of starters and dips, or with simply grilled fish or meat main courses.
