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 an incredibly simple dish that you can eat either hot in your kitchen or cold outside. Team it with a chunk of crusty bread and it goes from snack to a full meal. Sometimes, I serve it on toast with a spoon of goat's cheese on top – fabulous.

300-400g baby spinach, washed and dried
70-80ml olive oil
40g raisins, soaked overnight in warm water
40g pine nuts, lightly toasted
Salt and freshly ground black pepper

Gently heat the olive oil in a large frying pan or heavy-based saucepan and gently cook the spinach on a low heat for 2-3 minutes, stirring as it's cooking until it's just wilted but not coloured. Season to taste and stir in the pine nuts and drained raisins.
