I get dinner prepared with this! (10)

I believe the answer is:

ingredient

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

'this' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'i get dinner prepared' is the wordplay.
'prepared' indicates anagramming the letters.
'get'+'dinner'='getdinner'
'getdinner' anagrammed gives 'ngredient'.
'i'+'ngredient'='INGREDIENT'

'with' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ingredient that I've seen before include "bit of meal?" , "One of the things" , "Component part" , "Something required for a recipe" , "Component of mixture" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
