Managed to get cure from a vegetable (9)
I believe the answer is:
courgette
'a vegetable' is the definition.
(I know that courgette is a type of vegetable)
'managed to get cure' is the wordplay.
'managed' indicates an anagram.
'to'+'get'+'cure'='togetcure'
'togetcure' anagrammed gives 'COURGETTE'.
'from' is the link.
(Other definitions for courgette that I've seen before include "Variety of marrow" , "Zuccini" , "Zucchini is its American equivalent" , "Small green vegetable" , "this could supply kitchen" .)
