Ok, so its a little late for camping in some places, but this looked good and could easily be made indoors. Its from the new Conde Nast Sports for Women magazine. I just got the first issue...its not bad but WAY too many advertisments!

Over a camp stove, boil the water. Add boullion and porcini, cover and set aside. In a second pot, heat oil. Saute garlic, shallot and herbs till soft, lifting pot off flame occasionally to prevent browning. Stir in a large handfull of rice per person. Add broth (sans mushrooms) in half-cup amounts, stirring constantly, adding more as rice absorbes it. Add porcini.

When rice begins to bind, after 25 to 30 minutes, its ready.
