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 is one of those starters that we all love and it features in A Feast of Floyd from his travels to Alsace. It's such a simple dish really and is perfect served at dinner parties or as a delicious snack for a school lunch or a picnic.
200g ready-made butter puff pastry, rolled to about one-third of a centimetre thick
50g butter
2 large onions, peeled, halved and roughly chopped
2 egg yolks
1tbsp grated Parmesan cheese
100ml double cream
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
8 anchovy fillets
Prick the pastry with a fork and use to line 4 x 8-10cm tart tins, then leave to rest in the fridge for 1 hour. Preheat the oven to 200C/gas mark 6.
Melt the butter in a thick-bottomed pan and gently cook the onion with a lid on for about 10 minutes, turning them as they are cooking until they are translucent. Season and leave to cool a little.
Line the tart tins with discs of greaseproof paper and fill with baking beans and cook in the oven for 7-8 minutes, then remove and leave to cool a little.
Mix the egg yolks, Parmesan and cream with the onions and re-season if necessary. Remove the paper and beans and spoon in the onion mixture, then bake for about 15 minutes or until golden.
Halve the anchovy fillets lengthways, remove the tarts from the tins, lay the anchovies on top and serve.
