First of tendons pulled from bone in dish (6)
![Ross](/clue/static/ross-mug.min.png)
I believe the answer is:
paella
'dish' is the definition.
(type of meal)
'first of tendons pulled from bone' is the wordplay.
'first of tendons' becomes 't' (1st letter of 'tendons').
'pulled from' suggests deleting specific letters.
'bone' becomes 'patella' (patella is a kind of bone).
'patella' with 't' taken out is 'PAELLA'.
'in' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for paella that I've seen before include "Spanish dish based on saffron rice" , "Fare for Spaniard" , "Spanish dish of rice, saffron etc." , "Make stew" , "Traditional Spanish dish" .)
