Root - it's crushed for rice dish (7)
I believe the answer is:
risotto
'for rice dish' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)
'root it's crushed' is the wordplay.
'crushed' indicates an anagram.
'root'+'its'='rootits'
'rootits' with letters rearranged gives 'RISOTTO'.
(Other definitions for risotto that I've seen before include "Perhaps Italian" , "food dish" , "Savoury rice dish" , "You cook it in stock" , "Italian food" .)
