The medallions were cooked with very Iii lie Oil in a nonstick skilled nol too much or the seeds gel Brown an Bilter. For a sauce i reduced the marinade and bound in Wilh a Lille Bulter a sprinkling of Iresh coriander added the finishing touch. This technique also works weft with Chicken Beel veal and Turkey. As a Side dish i resorted 1o a French classic carrots Vichy or glazed carrots.

When Sloam forms in a microwave during cooking says Gertrude Armbruster professor of nutritional sciences Al Cornet University it Means that the Lood Load is generating a Largo amount of steam and the oven venting system does not remove All the steam during cooking.

Some brands of ovens have More powerful venting systems and the accumulation of steam does not seem to be As much of a problem in those ovens.
