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.

This deliciously tasty savoury comes from the pages of Jane Grigson's wonderful book English Food. Which, of course, it really shouldn't. Glamorgan is in Wales. A nice recipe for vegetarians and Anne Robinson.

150g grated Caerphilly or Lancashire cheese
100g fresh white breadcrumbs
2tbsp finely chopped spring onions or small, tender leeks
3 egg yolks
1 heaped tbsp chopped parsley
Half tsp fresh thyme leaves
1 level tsp mustard powder
salt and pepper
1 egg white, loosely beaten
extra breadcrumbs
oil for frying
sprigs of parsley for deep-frying (optional)

Mix the cheese, breadcrumbs and spring onion, or leek. Whisk the yolks, herbs, mustard and seasoning together - use about 1tsp salt and plenty of pepper -- and add to the breadcrumbs and cheese to make a coherent mixture. If the breadcrumbs and cheese were on the dry side, you may need another yolk or a little water before everything hangs together as it should. Divide into 12 and roll each piece into a small sausage about 5cm long. Dip into egg white, roll in the extra breadcrumbs and fry until golden in the oil. If you want to garnish the sausages with fried parsley, simply drop a handful of very dry parsley sprigs into the deep frying fat for a few seconds until dark green in colour. Drain, tip on to kitchen paper and sprinkle with fine sea salt.
