method
1. Sprinkle both sides of the meat with pepper. Heat the lard in a pan and brown the chops on both sides. Drain on absorbent kitchen paper to remove most of the fat.
2. Fry the onion in the fat remaining in the pan for about 3 minutes. Remove using a slotted spoon and place in an ovenproof casserole with the chops.
3. Mix the tomatoes with their juices, seasonings, sugar and herbs. Pour over the meat.
4. Cover and cook in the oven at 170°C (325°F) mark 3 for 1 hour. Remove the bay leaf. Combine the cheese and breadcrumbs and sprinkle over the dish. Bake, uncovered, for a further 30 minutes until golden.
