Crushes a mixture cooked in a wine sauce (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chasseur

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

'cooked in a wine sauce' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'crushes a mixture' is the wordplay.
'mixture' is an anagram indicator.
'crushes'+'a'='crushesa'
'crushesa' is an anagram of 'CHASSEUR'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chasseur that I've seen before include "(Cooked in) white wine and mushroom sauce" , "Cooked with French sauce of wine, mushroom etc." , "A way of cooking" , "French sauce, cooked with wine, mushrooms, etc." .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
