First coat the chops - I used 2 small ones each - in a couple of teaspoons of rosemary and thyme, which you have chopped small. Take 3 rashers of bacon, derind and chop them into strips. Fry them in a pan until cooked and then set them aside. Next fry the pork chops until they are almost done.
Then remove them and set aside on a plate. Fry 2 cleaned and chopped leeks in the fat that remains in the pan along with about 3 cloves of garlic. When that is cooked, add a half a litre of vegetable stock and give the pan a good stir to release any carmelised bits from the bottom. Now return the bacon to the pan and add a tablespoon of chopped fresh sage. Put the chops back in and cover the whole lot until the chops are cooked - about 5 minutes for me, but check your chops by cutting into the thickest one. Then remove the chops to a warmed plate and turn the heat up to reduce the sauce. When it has thickened sufficiently turn the heat off. Add 1 teaspoon of natural yogurt and 1 teaspoon of dijon mustard. Give it a good mix and spoon it over the cooked chops.
I served this with steamed new potatoes, brocolli and carrots.
