Crafty recipe — one has little time (9)
I believe the answer is:
dishonest
'crafty' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'recipe one has little time' is the wordplay.
'recipe' becomes 'dish'.
'one has' becomes 'ones' (one's).
'little time' becomes 't' (abbreviation for time).
'dish'+'ones'+'t'='DISHONEST'
(Other definitions for dishonest that I've seen before include "Untruthful - mendacious" , "Insincere" , "cheating" , "Fraudulent" , "Corrupt" .)
