a la carte

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'to menu' is the definition.
(a la carte is a kind of menu)

'claret aa removed' is the wordplay.
'removed' is an anagram indicator (moved again).
'claret'+'aa'='claretaa'
'claretaa' is an anagram of 'A LA CARTE'.

'according' is the link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for a la carte that I've seen before include "The pick-what-you-like menu" , "The pick-as-you-please menu" , "Alternative to 17 across" , "Menu with individual dishes priced separately" , "A real cat (anag.)" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
