Team quiet about woman getting additional portion of food (4,4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

side dish

'additional portion of food' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'team quiet about woman' is the wordplay.
'team' becomes 'side' (both can mean a sports team).
'quiet' becomes 'sh' (both can be said to tell someone to be quiet).
'about' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'woman' becomes 'di' (short for Diana).
'sh' after 'di' is 'dish'.
'side'+'dish'='SIDE-DISH'

'getting' is the link.

(Other definitions for side dish that I've seen before include "supplementary course material" , "Accompaniment at mealtime" , "Additional portion of food" , "tasty companion?" , "Food item subordinate to the main one" .)

I've seen this clue in The Daily Express.
