I have some butternut squash and carrots. And tricolor quinoa from Trader Joe's. jon posted this years ago. It's still out there on Epicurious. I like the quinoa part of the recipe as a standalone, but it duplicates a lot of the ingredients that are in the stew, so I'll just make the quinoa plain. Quinoa with Moroccan Winter Squash and Carrot Stew Ingredients for stew: 2 T olive oil 1 c chopped onion 3 garlic cloves, chopped 2 t Hungarian Sweet Paprika 1 t salt 1/2 t ground black pepper 1/2 t ground coriander 1/2 t ground cumin 1/2 t turmeric 1/2 t ground ginger 1/2 t cayenne pepper pinch saffron 1 cup water 1 14 1/2 oz can diced tomatoes, drained, or use peeled and diced fresh tomatoes 2 T fresh lemon juice 3 cups peeled and diced butternut squash, 1" cubes 2 cups peeled and diced carrots, 3/4" cubes Ingredients for Quinoa: 1 c. Quinoa 2 T olive oil (or 1 T o.o. and 1 T butter) 1/2 c. finely chopped onion 1/4 c. finely chopped carrot 2 garlic cloves, minced 1/2 t salt 1/2 t turmeric 2 cups water 1/2 cup fresh cilantro, chopped 2 t fresh mint, chopped Preparation for stew: Heat oil in large saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and saute until soft, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and stir 1 minute. Mix in paprika and next 8 ingredients, then add water, tomato, and lemon juice. Bring to boil, add squash and carrot, cover and simmer over medium-low heat until vegetables are tender, about 20 minutes. Preparation for quinoa: Rinse quinoa and drain. Heat oil (and butter if used) over medium heat. Add onion and carrot. Cover and cook until vegetables begin to brown, about 10 minutes. Add garlic, salt, and turmeric, saute 1 minute. Add quinoa, stir 1 minute, and add water. Bring to boil, reduce heat to medium low. Cover and simmer until liquid is absorbed and quinoa is tender, about 15 minutes. To serve: Add half of cilantro and half of mint to hot stew (re-heat if needed). Spoon quinoa onto a platter, forming a well in the center. Spoon stew into well and sprinkle remaining herbs over.

Didn't have any plain diced tomatoes, but the ones with green chiles worked great. Classic German bohnensalat (fresh green bean salad) on the side. Green beans from my garden, recipe from my Mom's best friend's German mom. My mom used to make this all the time when I was growing up. Recipe is simple and every German cook has his/her own version....ours includes cooked green beans mixed with some finely chopped onion, a little oil, splash of white vinegar, and salt to taste.
