Method:

  1. Toast the peppercorns in a hot, dry pan until fragrant, then crush in a pestle and mortar.
  2. Pour the beans with the poaching liquid into a medium saucepan. Fill the jar one-quarter with water, swirl around and pour over the beans. Warm gently over a medium heat.
  3. Place the ground peppercorns and Galmesan cheese in a bowl with a pinch of sea salt.
  4. Use a large spoon to skim off 5 spoonfuls of poaching liquid and pour over the cheese and pepper. Stir to make a paste. Add the strained beans and gently mix, adding more poaching liquid if necessary. If the cheese has not melted, return to the saucepan and gently heat, stirring constantly, until the cheese sauce coats the beans.
  5. Spoon into a serving dish, drizzle with half a tablespoon of truffle oil, add an extra grind of black pepper, and serve.
