Either pickled or cooked (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

stewed

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

This clue could be a double definition.

'either pickled' is the first definition.
'stewed' can be an answer for 'pickled' (thesaurus). I'm not certain of the 'either' bit.

'cooked' is the second definition.
(stewing is a kind of cooking)

'or' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for stewed that I've seen before include "(Meat) simmered; (tea) over-infused" , "Of tea, infused too long" , "mortal" , "Was long embarrassed" , "Cooked slowly" .)

I've seen this clue in the Evening Standard.
