Father gets woman a meal (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

paella

'a meal' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'father gets woman' is the wordplay.
'father' becomes 'pa' (pa can mean dad or father).
'gets' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'woman' becomes 'ella' ().
'pa'+'ella'='PAELLA'

(Other definitions for paella that I've seen before include "Saffron-flavoured rice dish" , "course in Granada?" , "Dish made of rice, shellfish and chicken" , "Spanish dish of rice, chicken, seafood etc cooked in a pan" , "Spanish course" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
