I make various risottos from time to time, favor mushroom and asparagus personally <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" /> But i doubt it'll be backpacking food unless you make it fresh <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif" alt="" /> Which, if you have the time and fuel in camp would make a hearty dinner after a long day's hike <img src="/forums/images/graemlins/ooo.gif" alt="" /> You can easily screw up risotto on your stove at home, so making it reconstitutable in a ziploc will be difficult at best IME.
