side. Fold up bottom of leaf, fold sides in and roll toward tip into
a firm roll. Brush the bottom of a deep heavy-bottomed pan with oil,
add slices of lemon, then place a layer of rolles folded side down.
Place the next layer of rolls carefully on top. Place a pan or dinner
plate on top of the rolls and weight it down with some heavy canned
