Two cups I notice shortly for stew (6)
I believe the answer is:
braise
'stew' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'two cups i notice shortly' is the wordplay.
'two cups' becomes 'bra' (as in the two cups of a bra. I am not sure about the 'two' bit.).
'notice' becomes 'see' (I've seen this before).
'shortly' means to remove the last letter.
'see' with its last letter removed is 'se'.
'bra'+'i'+'se'='BRAISE'
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for braise that I've seen before include "Cook by stewing" , "Cook slowly with little water in closed container" , "Heat slowly" , "Stew in a closed pan" , "Rabies (anag.)" .)
