A little bean tip as topping in canapé (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

antipasto

'canape' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'a little bean tip as topping' is the wordplay.
'a little' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (a little bit of the clue).
'ANTIPASTO' is hidden in the letters of 'bean tip as topping'.

'in' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for antipasto that I've seen before include "part of meal" , "Italian hors d'oeuvres" , "Italian appetisers" , "Appetizers in an Italian meal" , "course leader" .)

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
