stewed

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'cooked' is the definition.
(similar in meaning)

'some haste we figure' is the wordplay.
I cannot really understand how this works, but
'we' is within the answer.
The remaining letters 'sted' is a valid word which might be clued in a way I don't understand.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).

'with' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?
