Evenly pared the fruit waffle to make one marinated dish (8)
I believe the answer is:
teriyaki
'marinated dish' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I don't understand how the remainder of the clue works.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for teriyaki that I've seen before include "Japanese dish of beef, chicken or seafood, marinated in soy sauce" , "Basted and broiled" , "Oriental food" , "Japanese cooking using sweet soy sauce" , "Japanese dish of cooked meat or seafood, marinated in soy sauce" .)
