Tip: Rolling the citrus with firm pressure right before you squeeze will help you get a lot more juice out of it.
BONUS: You can get an awesome second meal out of this by saving all the cooking liquid, dumping three well-drained 15 oz. cans of beans into it, and simmering them for 45 minutes or so.
