Dish to revolve around additives (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tureen

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

'dish' is the definition.
(tureen is a kind of dish)

'revolve around additives' is the wordplay.
'revolve' becomes 'turn' (I've seen this before).
'around' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'additives' becomes 'ee' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'turn' going around 'ee' is 'TUREEN'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for tureen that I've seen before include "Holder of first course" , "A deep covered dish for serving soup" , "Soup container" , "Deep bowl for serving soup" , "Soup-dish" .)

I've seen this clue in The Mirror.
