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

'meaty food' is the definition.
I know nothing about this answer so I can't judge whether this works.

'in this dish a warm and' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'SHAWARMA' can be found hidden inside 'this dish a warm and'.
