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.

400g/13oz ripe tomatoes (if possible, heritage tomatoes)

A medium bunch of basil
Rock salt
Freshly ground black pepper
50ml/12fl oz extra-virgin olive oil

Not long before serving, slice the tomatoes into chunky pieces, tear the basil with your fingers and strew over the tomatoes. Season generously with rock salt and plenty of black pepper and drizzle with olive oil. Serve immediately.
