  1. Fill a pot or container with water and set the sous vide machine to 140 F and situate it in the water.
  2. Season the pork chops generously with salt and pepper.
  3. Place the pork chops in a sous vide bag or freezer bag, then add the garlic, thyme, lemon peel, and olive oil.

  5. Put the pork in the bath for 1 hour.
