Vegetable in part of ship recalled (4)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

leek

'vegetable' is the definition.
(leek is a kind of vegetable)

'part of ship recalled' is the wordplay.
'part of ship' becomes 'keel' (I've seen this before).
'recalled' says the letters should be written backwards.
'keel' back-to-front is 'LEEK'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for leek that I've seen before include "Staffordshire town?" , "Bulb" , "what Fluellen wore in France?" , "National emblem of Wales." , "Foodstuff" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
