Nourishing meat in all stews (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

alimental

'nourishing' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'meat in all stews' is the wordplay.
'stews' is an anagram indicator.
'meat'+'in'+'all'='meatinall'
'meatinall' anagrammed gives 'ALIMENTAL'.

(Other definitions for alimental that I've seen before include "Sustaining" , "Nourishing" , "Metal nail (anag.)" , "supplying food" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
