Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat.

Chop 1 medium onion and add it to the butter to caramelize for about 10 minutes, adding a little salt to help along the process.

After 10 minutes, the onions should be starting to caramelize; add rice to the pot and toast it with the onions for about 3 minutes, stirring to coat the rice with the butter and onions.

Add 2 cups of chicken broth to the pot along with 1/2 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper, and 1/4 teaspoon of turmeric.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to the lowest setting and cover the pot.

Cook for about 18 to 20 minutes until the liquid is absorbed and the rice is soft and fluffy.

Fluff the rice with a fork and let it sit covered for about 5 minutes to absorb any remaining moisture.
