Utilises Sue's recipe (4)

I believe the answer is:

uses

'utilises' is the definition.
('use' can be a synonym of 'utilize')

'sue's recipe' is the wordplay.
'recipe' is an anagram indicator.
'sues' anagrammed gives 'USES'.

(Other definitions for uses that I've seen before include "Purposes; consumes" , "Takes (drugs)" , "Exercises" , "'Purposes, functions (4)'" , "Puts to a particular purpose" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
