Spicy meat used in dishes a la Milanese (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

salami

'spicy meat' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'in dishes a la milanese' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'SALAMI' is hidden within 'dishes a la milanese'.

'used' is the link.

(Other definitions for salami that I've seen before include "Highly seasoned Italian sausage" , "Highly spiced sausage" , "Italian sausage (a kind of tactics?)" , "A highly seasoned type of sausage" , "Highly-seasoned Italian sausage" .)

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