Moroccan Apricot Tofu with Chickpeas and Brown Rice

*Ras el hanout is a conventional Moroccan seasoning comprised of coriander, paprika, cumin, cardamom, cinnamon, black pepper, pink pepper, turmeric, ginger, nutmeg, clove, and allspice.
**Should you don’t have recent apricots, use frozen and thawed, or canned and drained apricots (scale back cooking time with canned apricots). It’s also possible to use ¾ cup dried apricots which have been soaked in a single day in water and drained.
To make this recipe gluten-free, use cornstarch as an alternative of flour.
