Crossword Genius

Dish made from bent reeds (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

entree

'dish' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'from bent reeds' is the wordplay.
'from' indicates a hidden word.
'ENTREE' is hidden in the letters of 'bent reeds'.

'made' is the link.

(Other definitions for entree that I've seen before include "The right to enter a particular sphere" , "Dish; right of admission" , "Right to take part" , "Main course dish" , "Right of access; course" .)

I've seen this clue in The Independent.
