Parts of fork have silver inlay - needed for such dishes (7)
I believe the answer is:
tagines
'inlay needed for such dishes' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot tell whether this works.
'parts of fork have silver' is the wordplay.
'parts of fork' becomes 'tines' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'have' is an insertion indicator.
'silver' becomes 'Ag' (Ag is the chemical symbol for silver).
'tines' placed around 'ag' is 'TAGINES'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for tagines that I've seen is " stews".)
