What are some vegetarian meals or dishes you think people should know about?

I'm pretty guilty of using meat as a crutch in most of my cooking. I'd love to hear about some good meals for inspiration. Ideally things that aren't made to imitate/replace meat but exist well on their own.

Risotto it's pretty good, it can be prepared with mushrooms, pumpkin, radicchio, and a lot of other things (just pick a seasonal ingredient and look up a recipe). if it's ok butter and/or cheese can also be added for taste

    Kenji lopez-alt has a relatively easy recipe that skips a lot of the constant stirring. I've also recently found that mixing in finely chopped or even just squished soft tofu replicates some of the creaminess of cream, while really bumping up the protein and making it vegan
