Steps:
- Place the tomato, onion, garlic and salt in a blender or food processor and blend until smooth, then set aside.
- Add the oil to a large skillet over medium heat. When the oil is hot, add the rice and cook for about 5 minutes or until golden brown, stirring constantly so it doesn't burn. Add the tomato mixture to the skillet (be careful, it will sizzle and splatter) and cook for 2 minutes while stirring. Add the chicken broth, stir, and cover with a ild. Reduce to a simmer and cook for about 30 minutes or until the liquid is totally absorbed. Fluff with a fork to stir in the tomato bits that have risen to the top. Serve warm.

TOMATO RICE WITH CRISPY CHEDDAR
I could use all sorts of fancy words to explain this dish, but the best description is this: pizza in rice form. The inspiration for the recipe, though, is oddly enough not Italian - it's a hybrid of a classic South Indian tomato rice with onions and a shockingly fantastic Spanish rice recipe my mom and I photocopied out of my seventh-grade Spanish textbook for a school project. The crispy, bubbly, broiled Cheddar topping (use the sharpest white Cheddar you can find!) adds a little something something, making it a worthy dinner party dish.

Steps:
- Adjust an oven rack to the highest position and heat the oven to 500 degrees.
- In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the oil over medium-high. When the oil begins to shimmer, add the onion and chile, spread them out in an even layer and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion becomes translucent and starts to lightly char, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Increase the heat to high and add the tomatoes, using the back of a wooden spoon to lightly crush them. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down into a chunky sauce, 5 to 6 minutes. Add the salt and remove from heat.
- Stir in the cooked rice and transfer to an 8-inch square (or similar size) baking dish. Sprinkle the grated cheese on top in an even layer.
- Switch the oven to broil and place the baking dish on the oven rack closest to the broiler. Broil until the top bubbles and turns golden brown, about 3 minutes. Serve immediately.

Steps:
- Adjust an oven rack to the highest position and preheat the oven to 500 degrees F.
- In a large pan over medium-high heat, warm the oil. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the onion and chile, spread them out in an even layer in the pan, and cook until the onion becomes translucent and starts to lightly char, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Increase the heat to high and add the tomatoes, using the back of a spoon to lightly crush them. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down into a chunky sauce, 5 to 6 minutes, then add the salt.
- Put the cooked rice in an 8-inch square (or similar size) baking dish, then fold in the tomato sauce. (You can also do the folding in a separate bowl and then transfer the rice to the baking dish, if you doubt your ability to not spill rice and sauce everywhere.) Evenly distribute the grated cheese over the top.
- Switch the oven to broil and place the baking dish on the top oven rack. Broil for about 3 minutes, until the top bubbles and turns golden brown. Serve immediately.

SPANISH RICE WITH TOMATOES AND CHEESE
If you want to encourage your family to eat healthy brown rice - this is one way of tempting them! The colour of the rice isn't as noticeable due to the tomatoes; and I always found that even the fussiest of children would try most things if they included a little cheese. Nutty brown rice and cheese are perfect partners (plus anything else you have to hand: peas, sweetcorn etc) and ingredients I often put together when my boys were growing. Having never thought about recording the quantities however, I was pleased to see a recipe with all the same basic ingredients I use on the netcooks website.

SPANISH RICE USING TOMATO SAUCE
Since I can't eat entire tomatoes, I'm grateful for a recipe that uses tomato sauce instead of crushed tomatoes, etc. This recipe comes from Host Chelsie Kenyon on About.com's Mexican cooking forum. Thank you, Chelsie! Please see Chelsie's original recipe here at http://mexicanfood.about.com/od/quickmexicanrecipes/r/SpanishRice.htm You can make the salt nonexistent in this recipe by using no-salt tomato sauce and chicken broth.

BAKED RICE WITH CHEESE AND TOMATOES
From my favorite inherited cookbook, "Cook Like a Peasant, Eat Like a King. The cookbook is from the 70's and documents the travels of two California "foodies" traveling through Europe, eating dishes made by "peasant women" in small villages. This side dish recipe is from Switzerland. I picture it as a comforting side dish. I like the combo of the swiss cheese and parmesan (not one I'm used to seeing), highlighting the influences of neighboring Italy.
