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.

We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

25g dripping
3 rashers of unsmoked streaky bacon, sliced
3 white onions, peeled, halved and sliced
1 tsp sweet paprika
1 tsp caraway seeds
900g waxy potatoes, ideally Charlotte, peeled
12 Frankfurter sausages
325ml chicken stock or water
To serve: sour cream, coarsely
chopped flat-leaf parsley
Melt the dripping in a large, flameproof casserole over a medium heat and fry the bacon until it's lightly golden. Add the onions, turn the heat down and cook for 12-14 minutes until creamy and caramelised, stirring frequently. Add the paprika and caraway seeds and stir, then add the potatoes and frankfurters and gently toss to combine. Pour over the chicken stock or water, bring to a simmer, then cover and cook over a low heat for 25-30 minutes, by which time the potatoes should be tender and have absorbed most of the liquid. Keep an eye on the goulash towards the end to make sure it doesn't stick. Serve with a dollop of sour cream, scattered with parsley.
