Stolen bowl used for stew (6)
I believe the answer is:
hotpot
'for stew' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'stolen bowl' is the wordplay.
'stolen' becomes 'hot' (stolen goods are 'hot').
'bowl' becomes 'pot' (I've seen this before).
'hot'+'pot'='HOTPOT'
'used' is the link.
(Other definitions for hotpot that I've seen before include "Stew of meat and sliced potatoes" , "(Lancashire) stew" , "Lancashire meat dish" , "course" , "Lancashire casserole of meat and potatoes" .)
