Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Rest time approx. 1 hour; Total time approx. 1 hour 20 minutes

Shred the red cabbage into thin 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. Caramelize the powdered sugar in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the red cabbage and the liquid from the marinade and sauté briefly. Add the red wine, stock, onion, bay leaf, and clove and sauté over low heat for about 1.5 hours until soft. After 1 hour, stir the piece of cinnamon bark, cranberries, and chopped prunes into the red cabbage. Just before serving, remove the cinnamon, cloves, and bay leaf and melt 20g of dark chocolate into the red cabbage. Season with salt and sugar to taste. The red cabbage tastes particularly good when cooked the day before and then reheated.
