An oval earthenware cooking dish with a tightly fitting lid used for pâtés etc (7)

I believe the answer is:

terrine

(Other definitions for terrine that I've seen before include "Dish for ground meat spread" , "Earthenware dish - rentier (anag)" , "Oval dish for pate" , "Dish for pate, etc" , "Type of dish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
