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.

2tbsp vegetable oil

60g green kale

Sea salt and cracked black pepper

Juice of half a lemon

4 slices chorizo

1tbsp red wine vinegar

1tbsp whole blanched almonds, toasted

Heat a frying pan on a high heat until nearly smoking hot. Add the vegetable oil and heat. Quickly fry the kale in small batches until crispy. Remove and drain on kitchen paper. Season with plenty of sea salt, cracked black pepper and lemon juice. Cook the chorizo in the frying pan on a medium heat until crispy.

Deglaze the pan with the red wine vinegar and stir the cooking liquid vigorously with a spoon to make a glaze.

To serve, drizzle the glaze over the burnt kale and chorizo and then scatter over the toasted almonds.
