Brown the veal cheeks on all sides in a frying pan and add the vegetables, onion and garlic, and fry briefly. Deglaze with a splash of balsamic vinegar and the red wine, and boil for a while.
Add the stock, herbs, orange and gingerbread and simmer with the lid on for about 1.5-2 hours until the cheeks are tender and cooked.
Remove the cheeks from the pan and pour through a sieve and reduce the gravy until about 150 ml is left. Season to taste and thicken slightly if necessary.
Fry the gnocchi in butter until golden brown and season with salt and pepper.
Cut the cheeks into thick slices and fry in butter until crispy on both sides, season with salt and pepper.
Serve with red cabbage with apples and stewed pears.
Merry Christmas!
