Break chair to get back bean (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

haricot

'bean' is the definition.
(haricot is a type of bean)

'break chair to get back' is the wordplay.
'break' indicates anagramming the letters.
'get back' is a reversal indicator (I've seen 'got back' mean this).
'to' reversed gives 'ot'.
'chair' anagrammed gives 'haric'.
'haric'+'ot'='HARICOT'

(Other definitions for haricot that I've seen before include "Vegetable" , "Variety of bean" , "French bean" , "Type of bean in a chariot" , "kind of ragout" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Independent.
