Fresh canape stuffed with dry meat (8)
I believe the answer is:
pancetta
'meat' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I can't judge whether it can be defined by this definition.
'fresh canape stuffed with dry' is the wordplay.
'fresh' indicates an anagram (a fresh re-ordering of the letters).
'stuffed with' indicates putting letters inside (some letters get stuffed inside).
'dry' becomes 'tt' (abbreviation for teetotal).
'canape' is an anagram of 'pancea'.
'pancea' going around 'tt' is 'PANCETTA'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Another definition for pancetta that I've seen is " Italian cured belly of pork".)
