We've had bean appreciation threads and beans are really awesome. But have you considered onions?
White onions, yellow onions, green onions, red onions, spring onions. They're the humble workhorse of vegetables and we use them for everything. Raw, cooked, fried, pickled. They've been with us forever, we eat them every day.
I pickled some onions in the afternoon. Can't wait to get to them
Edit: They're good
