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.I'd never had red cabbage until I came to the UK. I'd had it once, a long time ago, with a roast in a pub but it left such a bad taste in my mouth that I didn't want to eat it again.
That was until I opened my restaurant. I started serving it as a side dish, and then I began to like it.
I made it with pomegranate molasses and fresh pomegranate seeds, which go really well with the crunchiness of the red cabbage.
But what's key here, is the lime juice. If you use lemon, you won't have the same balance of flavours, so it's really important to the dish.
This is something you can easily make in advance and enjoy throughout the week.
And it's versatile by season too. In winter, I use crushed walnuts and fresh mint instead.
