Cut the red cabbage into thin strips and wash if necessary. Chop the onion.
Heat a little oil in a casserole/casserole dish and sauté the onion. After a few minutes, add the red cabbage, diced apple, cinnamon and cloves, with a dash of water. Simmer gently for about 25 minutes, adding a little extra water if necessary.
Meanwhile, peel the potatoes, cut into large pieces and cook in salted water along with the garlic cloves until tender.
Heat the milk in a saucepan and melt the butter in it. Drain the potatoes and mash them. Pour in the milk and butter and mash to a smooth puree.
Spoon the red cabbage through the puree (fish out the cloves), be careful not to include the liquid from the pan, it will be too wet.
Heat a little butter in a frying pan and fry the apple segments brown and soft.
Spoon the goat cheese through the warm red cabbage mash, season with salt and pepper and finish with the fried apple segments.
