Constituent and I get dinner cooked (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ingredient

'constituent' is the definition.
(I know that constituent can be written as ingredient)

'i get dinner cooked' is the wordplay.
'cooked' is an anagram indicator (letters cooked into a new form).
'get'+'dinner'='getdinner'
'getdinner' anagrammed gives 'ngredient'.
'i'+'ngredient'='INGREDIENT'

'and' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for ingredient that I've seen before include "Component of mixture" , "Constituent" , "Component element" , "One of the things" , "bit of meal?" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
