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.

Roast cauliflower with caraway seeds, raisins and flaked almonds

Cauliflower is the star vegetable of the moment. We love it because it’s cheap, nutritious and doesn’t take a lot of preparation for a quick and tasty packed lunch.

  • ½ small cauliflower
  • 1 tbsp olive oil
  • Generous pinch of caraway seeds (or fennel seeds)
  • 1 tbsp flaked almonds, toasted (or  hazelnuts or walnuts)
  • Sea salt, black pepper to season
  • 1 tbsp raisins 
  • 2 tbsp red wine vinegar
  • 2 tbsp water 
  • Generous handful rocket 

Pre-heat oven to 190C. Slice the cauliflower into bite-sized florets. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle with the caraway seeds and sea salt and cracked black pepper. Roast on a baking tray in the oven until golden brown and crispy, approximately 10 minutes. Meanwhile, soak the raisins in the red wine vinegar and water. When the cauliflower is cooked drain the raisins and mix with together with the almonds and rocket.
