To get cure, cooked a vegetable (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

courgette

'a vegetable' is the definition.
(courgette is a kind of vegetable)

'to get cure cooked' is the wordplay.
'cooked' is an anagram indicator.
'to'+'get'+'cure'='togetcure'
'togetcure' anagrammed gives 'COURGETTE'.

(Other definitions for courgette that I've seen before include "Zucchini is its American equivalent" , "One of the vegetables" , "Variety of marrow" , "Type of vegetable marrow" , "Small marrow" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
