It's subordinate to the main course (4,4)

I believe the answer is:

side dish

(Other definitions for side dish that I've seen before include "Additional portion of food" , "Supplementary item at table" , "tasty companion?" , "something extra, of course" , "Food item subordinate to the main one" .)

I've seen this clue in The Irish Times.
