Currently got gelatinous leftover in the fridge from this recipe:

I'm wondering if anyone has any ideas on what to use the leftover fat with since it is flavoured by the other ingredients

The fat and gelatin should be easy to separate if it's chilled in the fridge.

You can just use the rendered fat as a cooking fat for anything that pairs with the spices you infused it with.

Gelatin is useful for gravy and sauces. It makes them silky and unctuous.

Rendered fat will last forever in the fridge, but gelatin will keep for maybe a week.

Oh, I forgot. You probably want to melt that fat and run it through a paper towel or coffee filter to remove any solids. This doesn't matter if you use it quick, but it does if you plan to store it.

Fried rice might be nice!
