Parent re-evaluated ingredients for meal (6)

I believe the answer is:

entree

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

'meal' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe they are linked in a way I don't understand?

'parent re-evaluated ingredients' is the wordplay.
'ingredients' says the answer is hidden in the clue (certain parts or ingredients from the clue).
'ENTREE' can be found hidden inside 'parent re evaluated'.

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for entree that I've seen before include "Main course of a meal" , "Right of access; course" , "Dish; right of admission" , "Dish served between fish and meat course" , "A dish allowed admittance" .)
