Raised edge on gold dish (5)
I believe the answer is:
pilau
'dish' is the definition.
(pilau is a kind of dish)
'raised edge on gold' is the wordplay.
'raised' is a reversal indicator.
'edge' becomes 'lip' (lip is a kind of edge).
'on' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'gold' becomes 'au' (Au is the chemical symbol for gold).
'lip' written backwards gives 'pil'.
'pil'+'au'='PILAU'
(Other definitions for pilau that I've seen before include "Type of rice" , "Eastern dish" , "Rice cooked in well-seasoned broth" , "Exotic dish" , "Oriental rice dish" .)
