Directions

mins to prep

  1. Step 1

    Roughly chop the preserved lemon into small cubes.

  2. Step 2

    Roughly crush the hazelnuts, not too small as we still want them to have texture.

  3. Step 3

    Add vegetable oil to a hot wok, and heat until smoking. Carefully add your beans to the wok, toss them in the oil, then leave them for a few minutes to colour and blister, tossing them to colour on all sides.

  4. Step 4

    Add the preserved lemon and hazelnuts to the beans. Don’t get too much heat on these — just toss through to warm, then serve.

  5. Step 5

    Drizzle some extra virgin olive oil over the beans to serve.
