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.

We are at the height of the British tomato season, and more and more growers are thankfully reintroducing Heritage varieties. You can use large or small squid for this, or even cuttlefish, but buy fresh if at all possible.

500-600g, cleaned weight of squid, cut into inch-wide strips if using a larger squid
400g of mixed, ripe Heritage tomatoes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
4tbsp olive oil
The juice and finely grated zest of 1 lime
A handful of picked coriander leaves, washed

Heat half of the olive oil in a heavy frying pan, season the squid and cook in the oil on a high heat for a couple of minutes, stirring from time to time, then transfer to a bowl. Add the rest of the olive oil and the lime zest and juice. Cut the tomatoes into a mixture of chunks and wedges and toss into the squid with the coriander leaves, saving a few leaves to scatter on top. Arrange on plates and serve.
