Ingredients
- 2 1/4 cups (560 ml) chicken broth
- 1/2 cup (125 ml) dried djon djon mushrooms
- 2 slices bacon, chopped
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) vegetable oil
- 1 tablespoon (15 ml) butter
- 2 cloves garlic, finely chopped

- 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 ml) fresh thyme
- 1 cup (250 ml) long grain rice, rinsed
- 1 cup (250 ml) canned lima beans, rinsed and drained
- A pinch of cloves
- Salt and pepper
Instructions
- In a saucepan, bring the broth and mushrooms to a boil. Remove from the heat, cover and let rest for 15 minutes.
- Drain the mushrooms through a sieve and collect the maximum amount of the black juice. In total, you need 500 ml (2 cups) of liquid. If this is not the case, add a little water. Discard the mushrooms.
- In a saucepan, brown the bacon in the oil and butter until almost crisp. Add the garlic, onion and thyme. Cook for 1 minute.
- Add the remaining ingredients and bring to a boil. Season with salt and pepper. Continue cooking over medium heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Stir to evenly distribute the beans. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes or until the liquid is completely absorbed.
- Serve hot with chicken, beef or fish.
