East meets West or I can say East meets Haiti. Black mushroom rice with shrimp and lima beans is time consuming and so worth the effort. Another two-day process and takes about three hours to make. Finding the black mushroom from Haiti is like black gold. The one Caribbean supermarket doesn't even carry it anymore. This was a gift sent all the way from New York via Haiti. I'm going to Haiti in May and I plan to find it and hopefully bring it back. I will follow up on a later post. I have to say other than white rice and pea soup, this is my second favorite rice dish. Here we go:
Black Gold - Black mushroom
After soaking overnight
Now, doesn't that look like Shrimp Fried Rice!!!!!!!
Now for the Bonbon Sirop, well I tried another recipe, let's just say it wasn't worth taking a final picture. I took a picture of what it should like and let's say I have a long way to go.
The real deal. YUM!!!!!
After mixing everything, it was soft, should not have been. After baking, it was as hard as a rock. Back to the drawing board!!
Until next week
