Pack the chops into a vacuum bag, making sure that the garlic remains on the chop.

Seal the bag, again, making sure the garlic stays in place.

5

I always trim the excess bag off so it doesn't collect water while in the bath. Helps prevent slop and burns.

6

Process in the water bath at 55C (131 F) for about three hours. They're probably done sooner, but the extra time seems to make them a little more tender. Also, want to make sure due to the thickness.

7

Remove from the vacuum bag, reserving the bag liquid. Place chops on paper towels to dry them off. They must be very dry for pan frying.

8

Heat a pan over medium high till hot. Oil the pan lightly, and saute the chops. To saute, place the chops in the pan and don't move them for several minutes. When a crust forms on the bottom, they should release easily from the pan. Turn them over, and saute on the other side.

When done, remove to a plate. Deglaze the pan with the vermouth, scraping up the fond (brown bits sticking to the pan). Reduce the vermouth to just a teaspoon or so, and add the veal stock. Add any juices that have collected around the chops on the plate, and the juices from the vacuum bag. Bring to a boil, and reduce by half. Adjust the seasonings, and add the gnocchi. Bring to a boil. Remove when appropriately thick.

Plate the chops over the gnocchi and enjoy :)
