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.50ml/2fl oz extra-virgin olive oil
1 red onion, finely sliced
1 dried red chilli
1 small bunch of sage
2 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed
1 onion squash, sliced in half, deseeded and sliced into one-inch chunks
16 small plum tomatoes
Sea salt
1 tin of Italian plum tomatoes, chopped
250ml/8fl oz water
350g/111/2oz chickpeas, soaked and dried
1 small bunch of flat-leaf parsley, chopped
60g/21/2oz grated Parmesan
Place a third of the oil into a large, heavy-based pan over a medium heat. When warm, add the onion and chilli, turn down the heat, cover and cook for 15 minutes until the onion is soft. Now add the sage, garlic, onion squash and the small plum tomatoes.
Add a good pinch of salt, stir once or twice, then return the lid to the pan and continue to cook for a further 15 minutes.
Add the tomatoes, turn the heat up slightly and cook with the lid off until the squash is soft and just beginning to fall apart. Add the water and the cooked chickpeas, a little more salt and cook for a final 20 minutes.
To serve, spoon into warmed bowls, drizzle with the remaining olive oil and sprinkle over the parsley and Parmesan.
