Female, out of camouflage, cooked a dish (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

guacamole

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

'female out of camouflage cooked' is the wordplay.
'female' becomes 'f' (common abbreviation).
'out of' indicates named letters should be taken away.
'cooked' indicates anagramming the letters.
'camouflage' with 'f' taken away is 'camoulage'.
'camoulage' anagrammed gives 'GUACAMOLE'.

(Other definitions for guacamole that I've seen before include "Mashed avocado dish" , "Avocado-based dish" , "tasty dip" , "Mexican dish" , "Avocado dip" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
