Recipe for pea soup, turnover, everything! (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

paella

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'recipe' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot see how they can define each other.

'pea soup turnover everything' is the wordplay.
'soup' indicates anagramming the letters.
'turnover' shows that the letters should be reversed in order (the letters turn over).
'everything' becomes 'all' (all things).
'all' backwards is 'lla'.
'pea' with letters rearranged gives 'pae'.
'pae'+'lla'='PAELLA'

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for paella that I've seen before include "Fare for Spaniard" , "Spanish dish of rice, shellfish, etc" , "Spanish dish of rice, shellfish and chicken" , "Dish (not English)" , "Al, leap into the Spanish dish" .)
