What is All'onda?
Pronounced /all-OHN-dah/
Definition
All'onda means "like a wave" — the correct loose, flowing consistency for risotto when it is spooned onto a plate.
Tilt the pan: properly finished risotto should ripple and settle flat within a couple of seconds. If it holds a mound, it is too thick.
It thickens on the plate, so finish it looser than looks right and serve immediately in a warm shallow bowl.

Quick answer
What are easy meals to cook while camping?
The easiest camping meals use one pan, few ingredients and food that forgives uneven heat. Sausage and peppers in a cast-iron skillet, foil-packet sausage and potatoes, and campfire pasta with jarred sauce all cook over coals, need little cleanup and feed a group. Prep vegetables at home to save time at camp.
