Ingredients

1 dried chipotle chili pepper
½ cup boiling water
½ cup frozen pineapple juice concentrate
½ cup olive oil
6 cloves garlic, minced
2 limes, zested and juiced
¼ cup cumin seeds
1 small fresh pineapple - peeled, cored, and cut into chunks
½ head green cabbage, cored and shredded

½ cup chopped cilantro
2 red bell peppers, seeded and cut into strips
salt and ground black pepper to taste

Steps:

Heat a small skillet over medium heat; toast chipotle pepper in the skillet, occasionally shaking the skillet, until pepper is fragrant and pliable, 3 to 5 minutes.
Use scissors to cut pepper and remove stem and seeds and transfer pepper in a small bowl. Pour boiling water over pepper. Cover bowl with plastic wrap and allow pepper to rehydrate and soften, about 5 minutes. Drain and mince pepper; set aside. Place the pineapple concentrate, olive oil, lime zest and juice, and minced garlic in a separate bowl.
Toast the cumin seeds over medium heat for a minute or two in the same skillet used for the chipotle pepper. Add cumin and reserved minced chipotle pepper to pineapple olive oil mixture; stir to combine.
