Rice recipe: unlimited Apulian cooking (5)
I believe the answer is:
pilau
'rice recipe' is the definition.
'unlimited apulian cooking' is the wordplay.
'unlimited' says to take the centre (discard the edges or 'limits' of the word).
'cooking' indicates an anagram.
The middle letters of 'apulian' are 'pulia'.
'pulia' anagrammed gives 'PILAU'.
(Other definitions for pilau that I've seen before include "spicy stuff" , "Indian rice recipe" , "Exotic dish" , "Oriental rice dish" , "Type of rice" .)
