Dice 2 yellow onions into medium-sized pieces to get about 1.5 cups of chopped onions.

Add 1 tablespoon of butter to a hot skillet and add the chopped onions.

Cook the onions on medium-low heat for about 15-20 minutes until they are caramelized.

Add chopped garlic to the onions and cook for a few seconds until fragrant.

Sprinkle in some salt to the onions.

Push the caramelized onions to the side of the skillet.

Add another tablespoon of butter to the skillet and 1 cup of rice.

Toast the rice in the butter for about 4 minutes, stirring to coat it.

Season the toasted rice lightly with salt and cracked black pepper.

Add 2 cups of vegetable broth to the rice and mix in the caramelized onions, scraping up any brown bits from the bottom of the pan.

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low and cover the skillet.

Cook for about 20 minutes on low heat.

Once cooked, fluff the rice and taste it for seasoning.

Optionally, add 1/4 cup of heavy cream and 1/4 cup of grated Parmesan cheese for creaminess and mix well.
