How to make Red Chilli and Pecan Slaw

Stir 120ml vegetable stock with cornflour in a measuring cup until blended. Bring remaining 800g stock to a boil in a medium saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to a simmer and slowly whisk in stock-cornflour 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 sauté pan over medium-high heat. Stir until aroma of seeds is released, about 1 minute.

Blend 60ml stock in a blender with cumin seeds and remaining dressing ingredients until smooth. (Refrigerate or freeze leftover stock.) Heat oven to 177°C. Combine pecans, chilli powder and oil in a mixing bowl; toss to coat pecans. Place nuts on a biscuit sheet and roast until the aroma of the chilli powder is released, 3 to 4 minutes. Combine dressing and slaw ingredients in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate until ready to serve.
