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 makes a great, simple starter or a nice side dish. If you can find golden sprouting broccoli, that will work nicely, too. Or, if you like, use a mixture of both.
400-500g sprouting broccoli, trimmed of any wooden ends
120-150g Gorgonzola or another creamy blue cheese, at room temperature
2tbsp pine nuts, lightly toasted
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
3-4tbsp extra virgin olive oil
Cook the broccoli in boiling salted water for 3-4 minutes or until tender, then drain in a colander.
Arrange on serving plates and season. Break the Gorgonzola into small pieces and scatter over the broccoli along with the pine nuts. Now spoon over the olive oil.
