I believe the answer is:

'brown' is the definition.
(I've seen this in other clues)
'braise artichoke partly' is the wordplay.
'partly' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'SEAR' can be found hidden inside 'braise artichoke'.
'and' is the link.
(Other definitions for sear that I've seen before include "Burn briefly" , "Scorch, brand" , "Make very hot and dry" , "Cauterise" , "Scorch or burn the surface of" .)
