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.

salt and pepper
a sprinkle of chopped parsley
1 spring onion, finely sliced
3tbsp of cream
a generous knob of butter 2 salt anchovy fillets, sliced into 2 lengthways using a sharp knife (woe betide you if you choose to use those silvery pickled anchovies; nice as they are, they are not welcome here)
Heat an overhead grill. Mix together the eggs, seasoning, parsley, spring onion and 1tbsp of the given amount of cream in a bowl. Then remove 3tbsp of this mixture to a small bowl and stir in the remaining 2tbsp of cream, adding a tiny amount of extra seasoning.
Melt the butter in a non-stick frying pan or your favourite omelette pan. Once the butter froths, pour in the egg mixture. Using a spatula, lift up the liquid parts to mingle with the set parts while cooking over a gentle heat until semi-liquid and semi-set. Lay over the strips of anchovy and then spoon over the contents of the small bowl, spreading it over the anchovy fillets to cover completely.
Flash under the grill for a minute or two until lightly gilded and just set. Slide on to a warm plate and eat at once.
