Instructions

In a heavy-bottomed tagine or dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

Add the seitan cubes and sear until they develop a deep brown crust.

Stir in the chickpeas, a pinch of cumin, turmeric, and cinnamon to bloom the spices until fragrant.

Add the apricot jam and a splash of water to create a silky, glossy glaze that coats the ingredients.

Cover and braise on low heat for 10 minutes to allow the flavors to meld into a rich, savory-sweet stew.

Meanwhile, fluff the pre-cooked quinoa with a fork.

Plate the tagine over a generous bed of warm, nutty quinoa.

Garnish with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice and a scattering of fresh cilantro or parsley for a bright finish.
