Dish of chopped rump in leaves (7)
I believe the answer is:
tempura
'dish' is the definition.
(tempura is a kind of dish)
'chopped rump in leaves' is the wordplay.
'chopped' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in' indicates putting letters inside.
'leaves' becomes 'tea' (I've seen this before).
'rump' anagrammed gives 'mpur'.
'mpur' going within 'tea' is 'TEMPURA'.
'of' is the link.
(Other definitions for tempura that I've seen before include "Japanese dish fried in batter" , "Deep-fried in batter, Japanese-style" , "Food that's been dipped in batter and deep-fried" , "Japanese food deep-fried in batter" , "Vegetables and seafood deep-fried in batter" .)
