A robust outdoor meal, Camp Spam Risotto uses mainly canned ingredients which are easy to transport and store in the outdoors. Though the ingredients are simple, the flavor is very rich. Because Spam and cream of celery soup can be quite salty, don’t season the risotto until after everything is cooked.
This is a foundation recipe that can easily be varied by changing ingredients. You can use an alternate soup flavor or add more vegetables. The water can be substituted with milk for a creamier consistency.
This is a perfect meal to pack as an emergency or backup dinner, due to the heavy reliance on canned and dry goods. The exception is the onion which can be left out or substituted for a dried version.
The spam risotto can be served as a meal itself of as a side to a larger meal.
This risotto can be cooked using a gas stove or over a fire.
This risotto is designed to be super easy for a camping environment.
