This dish, also known as Djon-Djon (after the mushrooms) is a true Haitian classic
Ingredients:
4 tbsp butter
350g long-grain rice
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
salt, black pepper and dried thyme, to taste
90g dried Haitian black mushrooms (substitute black, dried. European mushrooms)
Method:
Remove the stems from the mushrooms then place these (the stems) in a cup, cover with hot water and set aside to soak for 30 minutes (after this time, discard he stalks but reserve the liquid). Set the mushroom heads in a bowl and cover these with hot water as well.
Once the mushrooms are ready, melt the butter in a pan and use to fry the garlic for 1 minute. Add the rice and toss in the butter to coat the grains then add all the other ingredients along with the water used to soak the mushrooms (pour this through a fine-meshed sieve to remove any particles). It's best to roughly chop the mushroom caps before adding.
Season to taste then bring the mixture to a boil then reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 20 minutes or until the rice is tender (add a little more water, if needed as the rice cooks). If the rice is a little too wet remove the lid then cook quickly until the excess water evaporates, stirring frequently.
