Mexican Rice

1. Heat oil. Add rice and cook until golden and toasted. Add onion, bell pepper, and garlic and lightly saute. Put salt, 1/2 cup tomatoes, and broth in a blender. Process until smooth.

2. Slowly add liquid from the blender to the rice mixture. If you want extra tomato, drain and add the rest of them to the rice.

3. Bring to a boil, cover, turn heat to low, and simmer until rice is tender, about 1 hour (or as directed on the package). Do not remove the lid during the cooking process.
