Vegan Mushroom Risotto (High Energy Serving)

Jump to: Our Verdict / Features / Specifications

Expedition Foods’ delicious light-weight meals provide the perfect nutrition for a wide range of outdoor pursuits. Freeze-drying food is the most successful method of preservation, making it taste better, look better, weigh less and last longer.

Expedition Foods says

Long grain rice mixed with mushrooms, diced onions, coconut milk, turmeric, leeks and other ingredients - our newest meal, Mushroom Risotto, will delight any diet including vegan, vegetarian and traditional. Who said fine dining on the top of Ben Nevis was not possible?

Preparation: REMOVE THE OXYGEN ABSORBER* (Sachet) from inside the pouch. Slowly add hot water, stirring as you pour and then close the bag. Wait 5 minutes for the food to rehydrate. Cold water will suffice, however the re-hydration time is much longer.

* The oxygen absorber helps maintain product freshness and is non toxic. DO NOT EAT.
