Vegetable processed to get cure (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

courgette

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

'processed to get cure' is the wordplay.
'processed' indicates an anagram.
'to'+'get'+'cure'='togetcure'
'togetcure' anagrammed gives 'COURGETTE'.

(Other definitions for courgette that I've seen before include "Small marrow" , "Small green vegetable" , "One of the vegetables" , "this could supply kitchen" , "Type of vegetable marrow" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
