Plate set out with no meal (7)
I believe the answer is:
polenta
'meal' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'plate set out with no' is the wordplay.
'set out with' is an anagram indicator.
'plate' mixed up with 'no' can make 'POLENTA'.
(Other definitions for polenta that I've seen before include "Italian maize dough" , "Italian boiled cornmeal" , "Cooked meal" , "Italian food" , "Italian porridge usually of maize" .)
