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.

plain flour
6 garlic cloves (unpeeled)
3 red chillies
3 bay leaves
5 sprigs of thyme
4 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
sea salt
Preheat the oven to 190C fan oven/ 200C or 400F electric oven/ Gas 6. Toss the pumpkin pieces in a bowl with enough flour to coat them. Arrange them in a roasting dish, and tuck in the garlic cloves, chillies and herbs. Drizzle over the oil, scatter over some sea salt and roast for 50-60 minutes, turning the pumpkin a couple of times during the process of cooking to ensure that it colours evenly. The chillies can be eaten with the pumpkin - scrape the flesh off the skin, and discard the seeds as you go.
