Is bread chopped and cooked? (7)
I believe the answer is:
braised
'cooked?' is the definition.
('braised' can be similar in meaning to 'cooked')
'is bread chopped' is the wordplay.
'chopped' indicates an anagram (letters chopped or smashed up).
'is'+'bread'='isbread'
'isbread' anagrammed gives 'BRAISED'.
'and' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for braised that I've seen before include "Fried then slowly stewed" , "Stewed in closed pot" .)
