Stirred to a rich stew (7)
I believe the answer is:
haricot
'stew' is the definition.
The definition and answer can be both things that one consumes for nourishment as well as being singular nouns.
Perhaps they are linked in a way I don't understand?
'stirred to a rich' is the wordplay.
'stirred' indicates an anagram.
'to'+'a'+'rich'='toarich'
'toarich' anagrammed gives 'HARICOT'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for haricot that I've seen before include "kind of ragout" , "Variety of bean" , "Vegetable" , "French bean" , "Type of bean in a chariot" .)
