Crossword Genius

Bone, say, is stewed with this vegetable (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

soybean

'this vegetable' is the definition.
(soybean is a kind of vegetable)

'bone say is stewed' is the wordplay.
'is stewed' indicates anagramming the letters.
'bone'+'say'='bonesay'
'bonesay' is an anagram of 'SOYBEAN'.

'with' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for soybean that I've seen before include "Vegetable source of protein" , "American vegetable" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
