Seasoned dish giving artist uncomfortable condition (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

ragout

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

'seasoned dish' is the definition.
'ragout' can be an answer for 'dish' (ragout is a kind of dish). I'm not sure about the 'seasoned' bit.

'giving artist uncomfortable condition' is the wordplay.
'giving' says to put letters next to each other.
'artist' becomes 'RA' (Royal Academician, member of Royal Academy of Arts).
'uncomfortable condition' becomes 'gout' (gout is a kind of condition. I am not sure about the 'uncomfortable' bit.).
'ra'+'gout' is 'RAGOUT'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for ragout that I've seen before include "Stew of meat and veg" , "Meat and vegetable dish" , "Richly seasoned stew" , "Spicy dish" , "Well-seasoned stew of vegetables" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
