    Method: 

    In a large skillet, toast coriander seeds, cumin seeds, peppercorns, crushed red pepper flakes and cinnamon over medium heat for 4 to 5 minutes or until fragrant. Transfer to a spice grinder and grind to a powder. Set aside.

    Heat a large high-sided skillet over medium heat until hot. Add onion and cook about 5 minutes or until beginning to brown and stick to the pan. Add garlic and cook until fragrant. Stir in 1/3 cup vegetable broth and continue to cook 4 to 5 minutes longer or until very tender. Stir in spice mixture and tomato paste; cook 1 minute, stirring. Add remaining vegetable broth, potato, garbanzo beans, lemon juice and zest, olives and raisins. Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, cover and simmer about 20 minutes or until potato is tender. Stir in parsley and cilantro. Serve over couscous with lemon wedges.
