Instructions

  1. Slice the red cabbage into fine strips. Finely grate the apple. Mix the cabbage with the apple, a little salt and the red wine vinegar and marinate for about 1 hour.
  2. Caramelize the powdered sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the red cabbage and the liquid created by the marinade and sauté briefly. Add red wine, broth, onion, bay leaf and clove and simmer over a mild heat for about 1.5 hours until soft. After 1 hour, mix the piece of cinnamon bark, the cranberries and the chopped plums into the red cabbage. Just before serving, remove the cinnamon, cloves and bay leaf and melt 20 g dark chocolate in the red cabbage. Add salt and sugar to taste.
  3. Red cabbage tastes particularly good if you cook it the day before and then warm it up.

About Editorial Staff

The Boss Kitchen editorial staff oversees content review, fact-checking, and recipe verification across the site. Published articles pass through the editorial team before going live, ensuring ingredient lists, techniques, cooking times, and nutritional claims hold up in a home kitchen. The team coordinates contributions across the site writers, handles reader corrections, and maintains consistency in measurement conventions, safety guidance, and dietary labeling. Posts under this byline typically represent team-reviewed reference material, site announcements, or editorial roundups rather than individual-author features, and they are held to the same sourcing standards as bylined recipe and product coverage.
