Haitian Mushroom Rice and Peas

Rice with mushrooms, garlic, onion, who could beat that? My family loves this recipe! You can also use it as a main meal if you add cooked shrimp after the rice is cooked. This recipe is also great for company they will spend the whole time wondering how you got the rice that color and what is that exotic taste.
