Red Chile And Pecan Slaw

• 32 ounces nonfat vegetable stock, divided
• 2 tablespoons cornstarch
• 1 teaspoon cumin seeds
• 1 jalapeno pepper, seeded and diced
• 1 clove garlic
• 1/2 shallot, chopped
• 1/2 cup chopped fresh cilantro
• 1/4 cup sweet Thai chile sauce, such as Mae Ploy
• 1/4 cup apple cider (or rice wine) vinegar
• 1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
• 1/4 cup pecan pieces
• 1/2 teaspoon dark chili powder
• 1 tablespoon olive oil
• 1/4 pound red cabbage, shredded
• 1/4 pound green cabbage, shredded
• 1 small green bell pepper, cored, seeded and thinly sliced
• 1 small red bell pepper, cored, seeded and thinly sliced
• 1 small yellow bell pepper, cored, seeded and thinly sliced

1. Stir 1/2 cup vegetable stock with cornstarch in a measuring cup until blended. Bring remaining 28 ounces stock to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer and slowly whisk in stock-cornstarch mixture. Stir rapidly until stock is the consistency of olive oil. (It should cling to the back of a spoon.) Cool to room temperature, skim off and discard any film on top. Place cumin seeds in a dry saute pan over medium-high heat. Stir until aroma of seeds is released, about 1 minute.
2. Blend 1/4 cup stock in a blender with cumin seeds and remaining dressing ingredients until smooth. (Refrigerate or freeze leftover stock.) Heat oven to 350u0b0F. Combine pecans, chili powder and oil in a mixing bowl; toss to coat pecans. Place nuts on a cookie sheet and roast until the aroma of the chili powder is released, 3 to 4 minutes. Combine dressing and slaw ingredients in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
