Food riots to develop (7)
I believe the answer is:
risotto
'food' is the definition.
(risotto is a kind of food)
'riots to develop' is the wordplay.
'develop' indicates anagramming the letters.
'riots'+'to'='riotsto'
'riotsto' with letters rearranged gives 'RISOTTO'.
(Other definitions for risotto that I've seen before include "Main course" , "Italian dish of rice, meat and vegetables" , "dishy thing!" , "F" , "Italian dish cooked with broth" .)
