In a small pot with lid, heat oil. Then add garlic clove and rice. Toast for about 5 minutes moving the rice frequently.

Meanwhile blend tomato, onion, salt and half of the water.

When the rice begins to look and smell toasted (a couple minutes), stand back and add the blended tomato mixture. (Careful it will splash). Add the reming water and stir.

Turn heat to high and bring to a boil. Once boiling place lid on top and lower it to a simmer. Cook for 25 minutes at a simmer and do not open or disturb it.

After 25 minutes, let it sit 5 minutes after you’ve turned it off. Then fluff and serve.
