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.

I was delighted and surprised how good this is! A luxury when backpacking, I always make sure to have 1 (or 2) for a trip. My favorite of all G2G dinners.
I love this meal and my mother in law loves it too, so I bring it for her everytime we go hiking :)
I love mushrooms so that's why I purchased the mushroom risotto. I got an extra packet to try before I took on a trip to share with a friend. I won't be taking it with since it lacked flavor. I will use the other packets at home as a side with dinner. I can always add more flavoring.
very tasty
This is the best backpacking food brand I have ever tried, and the only one that’s made it from taste testing in my kitchen into my backpack. For those who prefer less spice, the Mushroom Risotto fits the bill and tastes great. At the end of a long day on the trail, GOOD TO GO is a treat for the hungry hiker.
