I believe the answer is:

baked beans

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

'tinned food' is the definition.
'baked beans' can be an answer for 'food' (I've seen this before). I'm not certain of the 'tinned' bit.

'english into battered kebabs and' is the wordplay.
'english' becomes 'E' (abbreviation).
'into' indicates putting letters inside.
'battered' is an anagram indicator.
'kebabs'+'and'='kebabsand'
'kebabsand' with letters rearranged gives 'bakedbans'.
'e' put within 'bakedbans' is 'BAKED BEANS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for baked beans that I've seen before include "Full English breakfast essential?" , "food campers might have" , "veg too" , "Haricots in tomato sauce" , "Tinned vegetables" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
