Recipe Note

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).
