Sausage cooked to satisfy (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

assuage

'to satisfy' is the definition.
(assuaging is a kind of satisfying)

'sausage cooked' is the wordplay.
'cooked' indicates anagramming the letters (letters cooked into a new form).
'sausage' is an anagram of 'ASSUAGE'.

(Other definitions for assuage that I've seen before include "Reduce severity" , "Pacify, allay" , "9 across (anag)" , "'Make less severe, pain say (7)'" , "Satisfy, slake" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
