  • Break seitan apart into pieces. Rub pieces in vegan margarine and then in ras el hanout.
  • Heat olive oil in a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the seasoned seitan and saute until browned and crusty bits form on the bottom of the pan, 5 to 7 minutes. Add onion and saute over medium heat until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook and stir for 1 to 2 minutes.
  • Stir in sweet potato, chickpeas, tomatoes, olives, raisins, apricots, cayenne, cumin, coriander, and cinnamon. Pour in enough vegetable broth to cover the mixture; bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until sweet potatoes are soft, about 20 minutes.
  • Stir in lemon zest and juice. Top with parsley and serve.
