Step 1
In a pot, add a little oil (just enough to cover the bottom) and make the seitan until golden. We remove it from the fire and reserve it.
Step 2
Next, we laminate the clove of garlic and cut the onion into small cubes, sauté them in a casserole and add a little salt and potpourri of peppers.
Step 3
Once the onion begins to brown, add the dried apricots and prunes and sauté over high heat for a couple of minutes while stirring.

Step 4
We remove the sugar, mix it well and add the red wine, water and cinnamon stick. Let it reduce for about 10 minutes.
Step 5
Introduce the seitan, cover it with a lid and let it simmer for about 15 or 20 minutes, turning it over from time to time. After this time, remove the cinnamon stick, remove the seitan and, once cooled, cut it into slices.
Step 6
Finally, introduce the slices of seitan in the pan again and heat for 7 minutes over low heat.
