About Diri Djondjon
Research draft based on the references below. These notes describe particular recipes and presentations; ingredient connections are still being reviewed.
This stovetop diri djondjon uses dried djon djon mushrooms to make the liquid in which jasmine rice cooks. Mirlene’s selected recipe includes onions, garlic paste, red bell pepper, sweet peas, thyme and two ready seasoning blends. It is served hot.
The mushrooms are blended with part of the water, then strained through a sieve. The remaining water is added while straining continues. Part of the same mushroom liquid is reserved for the rice.
Canola oil heats in a Dutch oven, and the supplied diced red bell pepper, green onion, yellow onion and garlic paste sauté until fragrant. Supplied washed jasmine rice, Jacmel seasoning, Saint-Marc seasoning and kosher salt are added and stirred together.
The reserved mushroom liquid is added, followed by thyme. The contents are stirred and the heat reduced. Seasoning is adjusted when needed, then the Dutch oven is covered until the liquid evaporates.
Supplied thawed sweet peas are mixed in, and the dish is covered again briefly before it is served hot.
