Mix in a dream sauce (8)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

marinade

'sauce' is the definition.
(I have seen 'spicy sauce' mean 'marinade' so perhaps 'sauce' could also mean 'marinade')

'mix in a dream' is the wordplay.
'mix' indicates anagramming the letters.
'in'+'a'+'dream'='inadream'
'inadream' with letters rearranged gives 'MARINADE'.

(Other definitions for marinade that I've seen before include "Mixture for soaking meat before cooking" , "get saturated" , "Spiced liquid in which food is soaked before cooking" , "Steep in seasoning" , "Mixture for soaking food before cooking" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
