Who says camping cuisine can't be decadent and unctuous? We'd like to introduce you to our heavenly luxurious chicken, pancetta and leek campfire risotto. You won't be disappointed!
As always, amounts in all of our recipes are approximate (we are in a field after all!) - we are a family of four with healthy appetites and this does us fine. We avoid offering cooking times as it all depends on your fuel source and how intense the flames are - just double check that everything is cooked through and piping hot!
Cook how suits you in the environment you are in - campfire, camping stove or oven. It will be delicious either way! We prefer the smokiness that open flames adds - also adds to the colour of the risotto.
