Roll a companion leaves on plate? (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

spinach

'leaves on plate?' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'roll a companion' is the wordplay.
'roll' becomes 'spin' (spin is a kind of roll**).
'companion' becomes 'ch' (I've seen this in other clues).
'spin'+'a'+'ch'='SPINACH'

(Other definitions for spinach that I've seen before include "Vegetable plant" , "Blackboard stand" , "leaves on plate?" , "Vegetable, source of iron" , "Popeye's vegetable" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
