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.

Salt and pepper
1/2tsp of coriander seeds toasted and lightly crushed
8 cloves of garlic, peeled
2 bay leaves
100ml/31/2fl oz dry sherry
300ml/10fl oz water
Preheat the oven to 150C/300F/Gas2.
Drain the beans and wash thoroughly. Drain again and reserve. Heat two tablespoons of the olive oil in a heavy bottomed cast-iron or terracotta pot.
Season the rabbit and gently fry on all sides until lightly gilded. Add the coriander seeds and garlic and mingle around with the rabbit until they, too, are moderately coloured.
Introduce the bay leaves, sherry, water and washed beans. Stir all together and add the remaining two tablespoons of the olive oil.
Cover and cook in the oven for about one to one-and-a-half hours, or until the beans are soft and the rabbit is tender.
This is a meal in itself, but you can add a plain green salad if you like.
