How to Make Acapulco Mexican Restaurant S Rice

1. Heat 2 tablespoons of lard in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 1 ½ cups long-grain white rice. Sauté for 6-10 minutes, stirring constantly, until the onion is translucent and the rice is lightly browned.
2. Transfer the rice and onion mixture to a greased 9x13 inch baking dish.
3. In a large saucepan, combine 2 ½ cups chicken broth, 1 cup tomato juice, 1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes (undrained), ¼ cup chopped fresh parsley, 2 cloves garlic (minced), 1 teaspoon ground cumin, ½ teaspoon salt, and ¼ teaspoon black pepper. Bring to a boil.
4. Pour the broth mixture evenly over the rice in the baking dish.
5. Cover the baking dish tightly with foil. Bake at 350°F (175°C) for 20-30 minutes, or until the rice is fluffy and the liquid is absorbed.
6. Remove from oven and let stand for 5 minutes. Fluff the rice with a fork before serving.
