Rice dish recipe – it's too complicated (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

risotto

'rice dish' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'recipe it's too complicated' is the wordplay.
'recipe' becomes 'r' (abbreviation).
'complicated' indicates an anagram.
'its'+'too'='itstoo'
'itstoo' with letters rearranged gives 'isotto'.
'r'+'isotto'='RISOTTO'

(Other definitions for risotto that I've seen before include "Rice/stock dish" , "Italian recipe" , "Main course" , "dishy thing!" , "Italian food" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
