Dish put away with nothing in it (5)
I believe the answer is:
satay
'dish' is the definition.
(I have seen 'Indonesian dish ' mean 'satay' so perhaps 'dish' could also mean 'satay')
'put away with nothing in it' is the wordplay.
'put' becomes 'sat' (both can mean positioned or placed).
'away' becomes 'A' (abbreviation as used in sports fixtures).
'with nothing in it' becomes 'y' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'sat'+'a'+'y'='SATAY'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for satay that I've seen before include "spicy sort of meat" , "something to eat" , "Malaysian or Indonesian dish of grilled food with peanut sauce" , "Barbecued food" , "Malayan dish" .)
