Rice dish, a bit of a risk for a German (7)
I believe the answer is:
risotto
'rice dish' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'a bit of a risk for a german' is the wordplay.
'a bit of a risk for' becomes 'ris' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'a german' becomes 'otto' (common German name).
'ris'+'otto'='RISOTTO'
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for risotto that I've seen before include "dishy thing!" , "Italian recipe" , "Perhaps Italian" , "It has roots in Italian rice-based dish" , "You cook it in stock" .)
