Pumpkin Confit (Continued)

Keeping the Confit

Place it in a jar, make sure the confit is covered with all juices/oil or keep it in the dish where the confit was cooked,  cover it with plastic wrap and refrigerate, especially if it is needed for the next day.
The Pumpkin Confit


Serving the Confit
Serve the confit with pan-fried or grilled meat, fish or chicken.  I am using the pumpkin confit for cooking lamb in parcels.  I will shear the lamb first, then add the confit, place in phyllo sheets and baked for a few minutes in a hot oven.

To Pan Fry The Leg of Lamb Steaks


Fun in the kitchen:
Once you have the sauce, condiment or confit which are suitable to serve with the dish that you cooked, cooking in the kitchen is so fast, and the food tastes good, and cooking becomes enjoyable.
The cooking for the lamb steaks will take you for 4-5 minutes with three minutes resting.  In the same time cook the vegetables to go with the lamb.  When it is cooked, serve the steak with the confit and garnish with spiced yoghurt and vegetables that you like.

Have Fun and Happy Cooking to You All




Until Next Post
