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 like this combination of peas and squid – it is fresh, summery and light.

800g/1 lb of the freshest squid
250g/8oz fresh peas
40g/11/2oz unsalted butter
3 sprigs of sage, leaves only, chopped
1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
200ml/7fl oz dry white wine

Prepare the squid as per the first recipe, then cook the peas in well-salted water till just tender.

Place a heavy-based pan on a medium heat on the stove; when warm, add the butter and melt until just foaming.

Once the butter has melted, add the peas, sage and garlic, stir once or twice, turn up the heat and add the wine.

Cook for 2-3 minutes to reduce slightly.

While the wine is reducing, cook the squid as per the previous recipes (see related links).

Once cooked, add to the peas, stir well to combine then serve while really warm.
