`:The first recipe actually uses one tablespoon of butter, and melts the rest to use as a sauce. ``Minimal`` fat is a terminology issue - deep frying would use cups or quarts, not tablespoons, and even shallow frying would use more than the five tablespoons called for in the second recipe (five tablespoons of butter in a pan large enough to fry fish isn't a large amount at all). In addition, some foods, like the sausages shown, make their own fat and don't need fat added at all. So maybe a better word than ``minimal``?     `
