Lit dish with fluid and a decoration (6)
I believe the answer is:
flambe
'lit dish' is the definition.
The definition suggests a verb in its base form which matches the answer.
'fluid and a decoration' is the wordplay.
'fluid' becomes 'fl' (eg in fl oz, fluid ounce).
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'decoration' becomes 'mbe'.
'fl'+'a'+'mbe'='FLAMBE'
'with' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for flambe that I've seen before include "cooked in blazing brandy" , "Pour alcohol over a dish and ignite" , "dish on fire" , "cooked in spectacular way" , "Of food covered with spirits and set alight" .)
