This is a recipe I created because I was entertaining some guests with a Moroccan-style dinner and I had a vegetarian in my group. I wanted him to have a hearty vegetarian dish with lots of protein, so I made this dish up after looking over a number of different Moroccan tagine recipes. It turned out so well that I have made it many times since and would like to share. I actually think that some of my non-vegetarian guests preferred this dish to the lamb that I spent hours slow-roasting! (Though it was also delicious and makes a nice combo with the stew.) It uses Moroccan spices and dried fruit. Serve over couscous.

Ingredients

1 (10 ounce) package seitan
2 tablespoons vegan butter
2 tablespoons ras el hanout
1 teaspoon olive oil, or as needed
1 medium onion, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 large sweet potato, cut into 1/4-inch cubes
1 (15 ounce) can chickpeas
1 (14.5 ounce) can diced tomatoes
⅓ cup pitted green olives, chopped
¼ cup golden raisins
¼ cup chopped dried apricots
1 pinch cayenne pepper, or to taste
1 pinch ground cumin, or to taste
1 pinch ground coriander, or to taste
1 pinch ground cinnamon, or to taste
3 cups vegetable broth, or more as needed
½ medium lemon, zested and juiced
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley, or to taste

Directions

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.

Cook's Note:

You can use butter or ghee instead of vegan butter to make this vegetarian. Regular raisins work instead of golden, and cilantro can be used instead of parsley.
