I believe the answer is:

salmi

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

'hearty stew' is the definition.
'salmi' can be an answer for 'stew' (salmi is a kind of stew). I am unsure of the 'hearty' bit.

'fed to him last to turn up' is the wordplay.
'SALMI' is hidden back-to-front in amongst the letters.
However, I am not sure how the hidden word is indicated.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for salmi that I've seen before include "game stew" , "game dish" , "Game ragout" , "Casserole" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
