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.Seasonal wild mushrooms are a great snacking food either on their own or as a selection. You can use a specific seasonal mushroom or use a selection and serve them as a sharing dish or plated up on individual small plates. For a more substantial snack, serve them on some small slices of sourdough just grilled with a little olive oil mixed with crushed garlic.
4 large shallots, peeled, halved and finely chopped
3-4 cloves of garlic, peeled and crushed
50g butter
250-300g wild mushrooms, trimmed and cut into even sizes if large
12-14 chestnuts, lightly roasted and peeled and halved
2tbsp chopped parsley
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Melt the butter in a heavy-based or non-stick frying pan and gently fry the shallots and garlic for a minute or so, add the mushrooms, season and continue cooking on a medium heat for 3-4 minutes, turning them every so often until soft, turning them in the pan every so often. Stir in the chestnuts and parsley and continue cooking for another minute. Serve immediately.
