Hi maja!
This is me... A bowl hearty vegetable stew served on rice or grain. Flavors would mirror known likes.
By hearty stew I mean every veg. I have. I would use Marmite as primary source of salt instead of using all white salt. I would probably include a roasted veg. for the flavor, like roasting the Peppers or Aubergines. Charred onion is another good one for me.
I would pick a grain like bulgar wheat or Buckwheat Groats (Something with some chew). The easiest would be couscous and lead me to Harissa and north African spices. I would not use white rice...
If you don't like the broth aspect, same veg. and grain done as a stir fry.
Here are a few ideas for your flavoring desires...
Asian versions- use that nub of fresh ginger, soy sauce, toasted sesame oil, Green Onions, Coconut milk, etc.
Mexican version- A toasted corn chip or two broken into the broth to disintegrate for the flavor, Adobo, Chipotle, Oregano, Fresh/dried Chiles, Fresh Lime, etc.
Italian- Basil, Oregano, Garlic, Tomato, pasta or beans, Parmesan, pesto, etc
Greek- Fresh Lemon, Orzo, Spinach, Feta, Olives, Capers, etc.
Arabian/North Africa- ras el hanout spice blend, harissa, Cumin, cinnamon, Coriander seed, etc.
India- curry powder and diced Apples, Coconut milk, Yogurt, etc.
Cuban- Black beans, Oregano, Cumin, Sofrito, etc.
Poland- Mushrooms, potatoes, Marjoram, Cabbage, etc.
Just have some fun with it and remember... You can always add more, but it's tough to recover from "Oops, I added too much"!
