DIRI AK DJON DJON (HAITIAN BLACK MUSHROOM RICE)
The name "diri djon djon," is the Haitian Creole term for black mushroom rice. This flavorful dish was taught and brought to me by my Haitian husband. It's so good. We make it at the least, every 2 weeks! He says I now make it better than him! Serve with a side of boiled plantains (bannann peze).

M. Franey offered this recipe for those of us who like our rice cooked separately from our Jambalaya. It's an interesting way to make the rice, though don't try if you don't have a good, heavy sauce pan to make it in.
