Dish to stir round — and round (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

risotto

'dish' is the definition.
(risotto is a kind of dish)

'to stir round and round' is the wordplay.
'round' indicates anagramming the letters.
'and' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'round' becomes 'o' (round can mean a round object**).
'to'+'stir'='tostir'
'tostir' is an anagram of 'risott'.
'risott'+'o'='RISOTTO'

(Other definitions for risotto that I've seen before include "Savoury rice dish" , "Main course" , "Italian course" , "It has roots in Italian rice-based dish" , "Italian food" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
