Sauté chopped garlic and white onion in canola oil until translucent. Add rice and mix well. Deglaze with wine until it evaporates. Add half a liter of water, cook on high heat, stirring to prevent rice from sticking. As it evaporates, gradually add more water (another half liter), then add tomato water (juice from grated tomatoes) until the rice is 95% cooked. Add coconut milk, lemon juice, and salt if needed.
