What if my Risotto isn't rehydrated?
Give it a little bit longer. Rehydration isn't an exact science, and factors such as altitude and ambient temperature can have an affect. Be sure to stir this meal well, as the thicker consistency of this dish requires a few extra stirs to incorporate all of the ingredients.
Are there a lot of mushrooms?
Short answer: yes. We load it with sautéed cremini mushrooms and cook the arborio rice in a mushroom stock. If you're not a fan of mushrooms, you may want to choose a different meal!

Our risotto is made the old-school way. Caramelize onions in olive oil, add the risotto and toast slightly, deglaze with white wine, slowly add stock. Boom. Finally, the basil pesto and sautéed mushrooms are added.
Herbed Mushroom Risotto

CONTAINS: Walnuts, Sulfites
While thru-hiking the A.T. this past season I decided to try this because I was tired of Knorrs and Mountain House... and it sounded good. It was very good!!! Flavorful and smelled wonderful. After that, bought it every chance I could... I'm home now and still buying it!!!
The mushroom risotto is full of umami! Very earthy, rich and satisfying. As a vegetarian this is my favorite Good To Go meal
Good base for a meal. I tend to have with a chicken sriracha bar. I would enjoy a little more spice, maybe a bit more garlic or a touch of smoked paprika.
Delicious
Flavor and substance are solidly good and satisfying, but not amazing. I'll definitely reorder for the convenience.
