CHEF’S TIP
If you have a syphon, you can use it to make a light mousse with part of the truffle scented sauce. Some of the broad beans, with the skin still on, can be dried at 55°C/ 131° F for at least one hour. When ready, you can powder the broad beans as decoration on the plate, as in the photo.
