In mortar and pestle, pound together the garlic, lemon zest, and sea salt. Add the pickled peppers and a dash of their juice and continue to pound. Season with freshly ground pepper. Transfer to a large bowl, add the lemon juice and a generous amount of olive oil, and mix. Stir in the parmesan and let rest.
