METHOD

For the Preserved Lemon Dressing:

In a blender, combine mustard, lemon, shallot, and vinegar. Slowly stream in olive oil until mixture is fully emulsified. Transfer to a squeeze bottle and refrigerate. For the Pickled Romano Beans: Place romano beans in a nonreactive container. Cover with enough vinegar to submerge and a pinch of salt. Cover and refrigerate.

To Assemble and Serve:

In a pot of salted boiling water, blanch beans, then immediately shock in ice bath. Cut beans on a 2-inch bias and set aside. Remove Pickled Romano Beans from container, reserving 10 grams pickling liquid, and cut on a 2-inch bias. In a mixing bowl, combine pole beans, Pickled Romano Beans, reserved pickling liquid, hazelnuts, shallots, preserved lemon, fleur de sel, and 30 grams Preserved Lemon Dressing. Toss to coat. Transfer mixture to the center of a small scallop bowl. Garnish with black pepper and Pecorino Romano PDO
