saute some alliums with spices (cumin, paprika, oregano, whatever) in instant pot. add white beans or white bean adjacent things (cannellini, sweet corn, butter beans, white hominy). add lots of coconut milk and some yogurt, and fresh herbs. simmer/slow cook until you feel like it (don't pressure cook, cuz fat will burn). enjoy topped with lemon, fresh pepper, cheese if you want, and more herbs! top with crumbled cornbread.

butternut squash
roast butternut squash cubes, top with ricotta or feta, sesame oil, and pine nuts. miso or tahini would probably be delicious here as well. and herbs.
