Made green date recipe (9)

I believe the answer is:

generated

'made' is the definition.
(generating is a kind of making)

'green date recipe' is the wordplay.
'recipe' indicates anagramming the letters.
'green'+'date'='greendate'
'greendate' is an anagram of 'GENERATED'.

(Another definition for generated that I've seen is " Created, produced".)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express and The Mirror.
