Turn Sir Preminger into Italian tucker (7)
I believe the answer is:
risotto
'italian tucker' is the definition.
Although both the answer and definition are singular nouns, I don't see how they can define each other.
'turn sir preminger' is the wordplay.
'turn' says the letters should be written in reverse.
'preminger' becomes 'otto' (I've seen this in another clue).
'sir' reversed gives 'ris'.
'ris'+'otto'='RISOTTO'
'into' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for risotto that I've seen before include "F" , "Savoury rice dish" , "Italian recipe" , "Italian dish of rice, meat and vegetables" , "Perhaps Italian" .)
