I believe the answer is:

saute

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'lightly fried' is the definition.
'saute' can be an answer for 'fried' (saute can mean fried quickly). I'm not certain of the 'lightly' bit.

'a suet concoction' is the wordplay.
'concoction' is an anagram indicator.
'a'+'suet'='asuet'
'asuet' is an anagram of 'SAUTE'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for saute that I've seen before include "Fry quickly in hot fat" , "Fry lightly" , "fried spuds and the like" , "Fried quickly in a little fat" , "Cooked in a little hot fat" .)
