Starter of haddock covered in leeks baked with dough from Haifa? (6)
I believe the answer is:
shekel
'dough from haifa?' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I cannot understand how one could define the other.
'starter of haddock covered in leeks baked' is the wordplay.
'starter of' says to take the initial letters.
'covered in' is an insertion indicator.
'baked' indicates an anagram.
The first letter of 'haddock' is 'h'.
'leeks' is an anagram of 'sekel'.
'h' inserted within 'sekel' is 'SHEKEL'.
'with' acts as a link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for shekel that I've seen before include "Israeli monetary unit" , "Currency of Israel" , "Israeli money" , "foreign currency" , "Israel's money" .)
