Method
- 1
Heat the olive oil in a wide pan and gently cook the leeks and carrots for 10 minutes, stirring often, until starting to soften but not brown.
- 2
Stir in the long grain rice, caster sugar and vegetable stock.
- 3
Cover and simmer very gently for 20 minutes until the rice and vegetables are tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.
- 4
Take off the heat, stir in half the lemon juice, and leave to cool to room temperature; zeytinyağlı dishes are traditionally served warm or cold, not hot.
- 5
Spoon into bowls and drizzle with the remaining lemon juice to serve.
