Pepper the chops, sear in clarified butter in a roasting pan until crispy, add a little salt (be careful with instant meat broth!), and sprinkle with paprika. Remove from the pan and keep warm. Deglaze the pan with the meat broth and reduce by half. Arrange the meat in a buttered casserole dish or ovenproof dish, add the halved tomatoes, cut-side up, and top with the leeks, halved lengthwise. Add the stock and, if desired, top with a few knobs of butter. Cover and bake in an oven preheated to 180°C for about 20 minutes. Serve with a nice slice of farmhouse bread or potatoes and a nice, cold beer!
