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).

Ingredients

1 cup canola oil
1 Scotch bonnet chile pepper, chopped
2 cubes black mushroom-flavored bouillon (such as Maggi® Djon Djon)
1 cube chicken bouillon (such as Maggi®)
1 cube seasoning bouillon (such as Maggi®)
2 tablespoons crushed red pepper
2 tablespoons onion powder
2 tablespoons kosher salt
2 tablespoons ground black pepper
1 tablespoon ground thyme
3 tablespoons minced garlic
2 cups frozen lima beans
2 (14 ounce) cans coconut milk
6 cups water
3 cups uncooked jasmine rice

Directions

Heat oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add Scotch bonnet pepper, bouillon cubes, red pepper, onion powder, kosher salt, black pepper, and thyme; cook and stir until cubes dissolve. Add garlic and saute for another 4 minutes. Turn up heat to medium-high; stir in lima beans and cook for 4 minutes. Pour in coconut milk and bring to a boil; stir until mixture turns black.
Meanwhile, bring water to a boil in another pot. Stir in rice and let boil for about 10 minutes. Turn heat down to medium and mix in coconut milk mixture; cook for about 7 minutes more. Reduce heat to low.
Place a clean dishcloth over the pot. Put a lid over the top and allow to steam for at least 15 to 20 minutes. Uncover and serve.

Cook's Notes:

You can use a habanero pepper instead of a Scotch bonnet.

Use 1/2 of an onion, chopped, instead of powder, if preferred.

Use 3 sprigs fresh thyme instead of dried, if preferred.
