medium fried a delight

The fillet is fried whole and weighs around 240g, and seasoned at the very end. Ideally, the fillets should be seared in vegetable oil for 2.5 minutes on each side, removed from the heat, and then left to rest with the lid on for 15 minutes. If the rest time is shorter, they lose too much of the juices, and if left for longer, they quickly become tough. Fried this way, they are medium well, which is what they deserve, unlike other poultry, and wonderfully tender. Season with salt and pepper. Serve with tomatoes and green beans as a side dish. Mashed potatoes or mushrooms with onions would also go well.
