In a large skillet, heat the olive oil and 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and a pinch of salt. Sauté, stirring occasionally, until the onions become soft and golden brown (about 12-15 minutes). Set aside.

Rinse the jasmine rice under cold water until the water runs clear to remove excess starch. In a medium saucepan, melt the remaining 1 tablespoon of butter over medium heat. Add the rinsed rice and stir to coat the grains with butter. Pour in the water or broth, then add salt and black pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15-18 minutes until the rice is tender and the liquid is absorbed. Remove from heat and let it sit, covered, for 5 minutes.

Fluff the cooked rice with a fork and gently stir in the caramelized onions. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired. Serve warm and enjoy!
