Label that's carrying name for dish (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tagine

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

'dish' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'label that's carrying name' is the wordplay.
'label' becomes 'tag' (synonyms).
'that's' becomes 'ie'.
'carrying' is an insertion indicator.
'name' becomes 'n' (common abbreviation e.g. on forms).
'ie' going around 'n' is 'ine'.
'tag'+'ine'='TAGINE'

'for' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for tagine that I've seen is " Moroccan stew cooked in a pot with a conical lid".)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
