Some detecting rat in some French dishes (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

gratins

'french dishes' is the definition.

'some detecting rat in some' is the wordplay.
'some' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue (some of the parts of the word are used).
'GRATINS' is hidden within 'detecting rat in some'.

I've seen this clue in The Everyman puzzle in The Observer.
