WEIGHT WATCHERS FRIENDLY MEXICAN RICE
We love Mexican rice but don't want to use all of our WW points eating it. My solution was to add lots of zero point veggies! There's only 1/2 cup uncooked white rice in the whole thing.

Steps:
- 1. Lightly spray non stick skillet with oil.
- 2. Add rice and cook over med heat until opaque. Add onion and garlic and saute lightly.
- 3. Add water and spices including salt and pepper. If you like a more red rice like in a restaurant, add a teaspoon of paprika.
- 4. Add rest of ingredients except peas and fresh cilantro. Cover, reduce heat to low, and cook for 20 minutes. Stir occasionally and add more water if needed. Depends on how juicy the tomatoes are.
- 5. Add the peas and cilantro during the last 5 minutes. Taste test for salt and tenderness of rice before serving.
- 6. note: I calculate there are 14 points on the blue Weight Watchers plan for the whole thing! At 4 huge servings that's 3.5 points. Great with chili.

Steps:
- 1. Heat oil in skillet. Add rice until golden and toasted. Add onion and pepper and lightly sautee.
- 2. In a blender put salt,garlic, 1/2 cup tomatoes (undrained) and broth. Puree until smooth.
- 3. Slowly add liquid mixture to rice. You can drain the rest of the tomatoes and add to the rice if you'd like.
- 4. Bring to a boil, cover and turn heat to low. Simmer until rice is tender, about 1 hour. Do not remove lid while rice is simmering! I usually check the rice package, it tells you how long to cook it for.

- Put salt, 1/2 cup of tomatoes (undrained) and broth in a blender. Process till smooth.
- Add liquid from blender to the rice mixture slowly. You can drain the rest of the tomatoes and add them to the rice at this point if you want extra tomato.
- Bring to a boil, cover, turn heat to low, and simmer until rice is tender, about 1 hour. (Or however long brown rice needs to simmer - my package says 1 hour.)

- If you don't have fresh garlic, you can add 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder to the blender.
