Find pear, strangely, cooked in shallow fat (3-5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pan-fried

'cooked in shallow fat' is the definition.
(fried in a shallow pan)

'find pear strangely' is the wordplay.
'strangely' indicates an anagram.
'find'+'pear'='findpear'
'findpear' is an anagram of 'PAN-FRIED'.

I've seen this clue in The Times.
