Crossword Genius

Rice often cooked for a meal (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

refection

'a meal' is the definition.
(refection is a kind of meal)

'rice often cooked' is the wordplay.
'cooked' is an anagram indicator.
'rice'+'often'='riceoften'
'riceoften' is an anagram of 'REFECTION'.

'for' acts as a link.

(Another definition for refection that I've seen is " Meal or snack".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
