Step by Step Method

Step 1

In a very large skillet, heat the oil over medium heat. Add the leeks and sugar, and saute until the leeks begins to soften, 6 - 8 minutes. Add the tomatoes, cinnamon, salt, pepper, and rice. Cook for 2 minutes, stirring. Stir in the lemon zest, chicken broth, and parsley. Cover and simmer for 10 minutes.

Step 2

Remove the skillet from the heat and remove the lid; quickly place a piece of cheesecloth or a clean dish towel over the skillet and replace the lid. Let the rice steam in a warm place for 15 - 20 minutes. When all the liquid has been absorbed, the rice is ready to serve.

DH an myself enjoyed this as a nice change to the usual vegetable side. I did use only 2 Leeks as they were large and gave me the 2 cups needed. This is creamier than normal rice and gives a very nice creamy texture, more like a risotto than normal rice but still really good with great flavors.
