Father gets a girl to prepare a Spanish dish (6)
I believe the answer is:
paella
'a spanish dish' is the definition.
(paella is a type of Spanish dish)
'father gets a girl' is the wordplay.
'father' becomes 'pa' (pa can mean dad or father).
'gets' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'a girl' becomes 'ella' (girl's name).
'pa'+'ella'='PAELLA'
'to prepare' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. Some or all of it may be part of another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for paella that I've seen before include "Meal" , "something to eat" , "Spanish dish of rice, shellfish, etc" , "Spanish dish of rice, chicken, seafood etc cooked in a pan" , "Spanish dish based on saffron rice" .)
