Celebrate Haitian Heritage Month with Djon Djon and a Side of Flavor!

Hey Reader!

May is Haitian Heritage Month, and you know I had to come through with a recipe that hits close to home:
Grilled Beef Skewers with Djon Djon (Black Mushroom) Rice.

If you’ve never had djon djon, you’re in for a rich, earthy flavor bomb—this iconic black mushroom rice is a staple in Haitian kitchens and a symbol of celebration. I’ve paired it with juicy, marinated grilled beef skewers that bring the perfect smoky bite to the table.

And for all my foodie nerds who want to dive a little deeper, I’ve linked a few historical gems throughout the blog post. You’ll find stories, cultural context, and background on why this dish (and so many others) mean so much in Haitian households.

This isn’t just a recipe—it’s a whole experience.
Hit the grill, grab your spices, and let’s honor Haitian heritage one delicious bite at a time.

Until Next Time,
Chef Maika
