- 3Line a heavy pot with tomato slices, then pack everything in tightly. Add water and the remaining lemon and weigh down with a plate.
- 4Cover and simmer on low until the rice is tender and the liquid mostly absorbed.
- 5Rest 10 minutes, then place a large tray on top and flip the pot over in one confident move.
Serve it like this
