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.This is really a simple snack: not enough for supper, but maybe enough for a light lunch. Tomatoes are trickling into season now which is lovely for us at work, as they add a whole new dimension to dishes.
4 slices good-quality, peasant-style chewy bread such as pagnotta, pugliese or pane Toscana
1 clove garlic, peeled but left whole
2tbsp extra-virgin olive oil
A little sea-salt
2 ripe, sweet tomatoes
4tbsp crème fraîche
8 good-quality anchovies in oil, such as Ortiz
Freshly ground black pepper
First toast or grill the bread. While warm, rub very gently with the clove of garlic. Drizzle with olive oil and sprinkle a small amount of salt on top.
Slice the tomatoes and lay on top of the toast, dividing them among the 4 slices evenly. Spoon over the crème fraîche and lay over the anchovies.
Finish off with lots of freshly ground black pepper, and serve.
