A dish incompetently made? (4)
I believe the answer is:
hash
'a dish' is the definition.
(hash is a kind of dish)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hash that I've seen before include "Stew - botched job" , "Mess; meat/potato dish" , "Stew - key" , "Meat dish or hallucinogen" , "Recycled food" .)
