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.
