Haitian Food: How to make Riz Djon Djon

INGREDIENTS:

Onions (chopped)
Garlic (chopped)
Parsley
Clovers
Thyme
Oil
Salt
Garlic Powder
Lima Beans
Rice (brown or white optional)
Djon Djon Mushrooms

[Prepare the Djon Djon mushrooms 30 minutes in advance before cooking the rice.
Place the mushrooms in a bowl with water (5 cups of water for 6-8 ppl) and let it seep for 30 minutes.]

Preheat pot on stove. Once heated pour oil, chopped garlic and chopped onions into pot.
Let the onions and garlic take color then pour the lima beans in pot and stir.

The bowl of mushroom water has now taken color. Pour out the water into a new bowl with a strainer to remove the remains of the mushrooms (optional).
Squeeze the juice out of the mushrooms to make sure none goes to waste! Pour the bowl of mushroom juice into pot slowly then stir.
Drop about 4-6 clovers [in the pot], a few branches of thyme, some parsley, also salt and garlic powder to finish it off! Oh yea, keep stirring! Put the lid on and let it boil for about 10 minutes.

Meanwhile, prepare your rice. Use 5 cups of rice for about 6-8 ppl. PLace rice in bowl and wash with lukewarm water.
Rub the rice on hands to remove dirt and rocks and pour out the water. Grab a handful of rice and place it in the pot and stir.
This time do not cover with lid to let the rice dry up. After 10 minutes put the lid on and wait about 15-20 minutes.

BONNE APETIT!

Salut ma belle, je suis Colombienne et j'aime la cuisine Haitienne. J'ai fait ta recette de riz pour mon troisième anniversaire de mariage. Mon mari a été élevé à Montréal et il aime beaucoup la culture Haitienne. Il a aimé les résultats! Merci beaucoup.

Cependant, j'ai aussi fait une recette de griot, mais de quelqu'un d'autre... Ce serait chouette si tu pouvait faire une recette de griot aussi! Merci beaucoup ma belle!
