Cooked us tea? (5)
I believe the answer is:
saute
'cooked us tea?' is the definition.
The answer and definition are not the same part of speech. However, past participle verbs and adjectives occasionally define each other.
'cooked us tea?' is the wordplay.
'cooked' indicates anagramming the letters.
'us'+'tea'='ustea'
'ustea' anagrammed gives 'SAUTE'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for saute that I've seen before include "Fry in a small amount of fat" , "Fried food" , "Fry lightly" , "Fried quickly in small amount of fat" , "Cook" .)
