  2. Prep and cook pork: Score pork lengthwise, open like a book, and flatten. Season with salt, pepper, coriander, and paprika. Sear in a hot pan with olive oil, flipping until golden and cooked through.
  3. Cook greens: Trim cabbage, slice leaves and wedges, add to a medium lidded pan. Crumble in stock cube and cover with boiling water. Add Swiss chard, cover again.
  4. Build the sauce: Finely chop red onion and add to pork pan with sage. Cook briefly, then pour in Marsala. Carefully ignite if desired. Let flames subside.
