Pungent green paste (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

wasabi

(Other definitions for wasabi that I've seen before include "Pungent green root used in Japanese cookery" , "Japanese horseradish" , "Hollyhock" , "Strong-tasting Japanese paste" , "Hot Japanese paste" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times and The Independent.
