How to Prepare Moroccan Chili [Vegan]

Heat oil in a heavy pot over medium heat. Add onion and sliced garlic cloves and saute until softened, about 5 minutes. Add ras el-hanout and harissa; simmer another minute, until fragrant.
Stir in the tomatoes with juice, sweet potato, and tomato paste. Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally until the sweet potato is tender, about 30 minutes.
Stir in the drained chickpeas and raisins. Simmer an additional 5 minutes until warmed through. Season to taste, adding more harissa for more heat.
Top with cilantro and vegan feta, if desired. Serve hot.
