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!
X Tear pouch open and REMOVE oxygen absorber.
X SINGLE SERVING Add a little more than one cup (250ML) of BOILING (yes, boiling) water to bag.
X DOUBLE SERVING Add two and a half cups (500ML) of BOILING (yes, boiling) water to bag.
X STIR and reseal. HANG OUT for 20 minutes. Think about how big the universe is.
X OPEN. STIR UNTIL THICKENED. EAT. SMILE.
X Rehydration will take LONGER at higher altitudes.
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.

I've had this several times now and will always include it as one dinner option on a multi day trip.
This is my go-to whenever I want something a notch above on an overnight or a weekend trip. Seriously good and good on the go!
Awesome dish, could use more seasoning. We added salt and black pepper.
My favorite. Most satisfying too. The flavors are good. It's soft and creamy.
Delicious on our backpacking trips! Look forward to chowing after a long hike!
