An accommodating dish? (7,3)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

cottage pie

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

'an accommodating dish?' is the definition.
'cottage pie' can be an answer for 'dish?' (I've seen this before). I am not sure about the 'an accommodating' bit.

'accommodating dish?' is the wordplay.
'accommodating' becomes 'cottage' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'dish?' becomes 'pie' (I've seen this before).
'cottage'+'pie'='COTTAGE PIE'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for cottage pie that I've seen before include "Mince/mashed potato dish" , "homely dish" , "traditional dish" , "Mash-topped dish" , "Mince and mashed potato dish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
