LYO says:
Introducing a real risotto that has long been missing from the EXPEDITION MENU. We have joined culinary forces with our ambassador, Ines Papert, so now you can enjoy it not just at home or in a restaurant.
Risotto recognizes no shortcuts. In keeping with the art, we gave it our full attention to achieve the complex texture that defines this delicious and most elegant rice dish in the world. A creamy coating envelops perfectly al dente rice kernels. What comes to the fore, however, are juicy chunks of boletus – the king of mushrooms – nestled between these two worlds. Topped with a generous pinch of Pecorino Romano and green parsley... Add hot water and stir briefly – we have done the rest of the stirring.
PREPARATION

- Remove oxygen absorber
- Add 372 ml of hot, boiled water - fill line № 2 (see inside)
- Stir thoroughly

- Tear off at the notch below the zipper, stir again & enjoy
Our Verdict
LYO have tried to take a different route with their meals focussing on natural, fresh ingredients and no preservatives or artificial additives. They proudly cultivate some of the fruits and herbs on their own fields. Other fruits and herbs as well as vegetables come from farmers known to them personally. All ingredients are carefully verified to ensure that their products meet the highest quality standards.
The majority of the meals use interesting combinations of natural ingredients with chunky vegetables, authentic flavours and more of a home cooked approach. We’ve been lucky enough to test a variety of them and have always been impressed with the end results. Generally, we appreciated the good combinations of flavour, texture and portion size.
The fill line for adding water to the packs is novel with a blue area from the bottom showing how much water is required. It is quite a subtle design feature that can be easy to miss and some form of internal indicator would be best but it still works.
