Woman fell holding stone dish (5,4)
I believe the answer is:
irish stew
'dish' is the definition.
(Irish stew is an example)
'woman fell holding stone' is the wordplay.
'woman' becomes 'iris' (woman's name).
'fell' becomes 'hew' (both can mean to chop).
'holding' indicates putting letters inside.
'stone' becomes 'st' (abbreviation).
'hew' enclosing 'st' is 'hstew'.
'iris'+'hstew'='IRISH STEW'
(Other definitions for irish stew that I've seen before include "Mutton and vegetable dish" , "Mutton/onion/potato dish" , "Fare" , "National dish of potatoes, mutton and onions simmered in water" , "Pale broth, usually of lamb and mixed vegetables" .)
