Cook some broccoli or beans lying around (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

broil

'cook' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'some broccoli or beans lying around' is the wordplay.
'some' says the answer is hidden in the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'around' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'liorb' can be found hidden inside 'broccoli or beans lying'.
'liorb' written backwards gives 'BROIL'.

(Other definitions for broil that I've seen before include "get very heated" , "Maybe grill" , "disturbance" , "Become very hot (in sun)" , "stew" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
