Oregon Sugar Pod

Oregon Sugar Pod peasfrom our plot

A mangetout you eat whole, pod and all — sweet and flat, and best of all straight off the plant while you pretend to be getting on with other jobs. Sow it through the cooler weeks and pick young, before the peas swell inside.

Stir-fried mangetout with sesame

Searing hot wok, a splash of sesame oil, the pods for sixty seconds, a hit of soy sauce and a scatter of toasted sesame seeds. Done before the rice is ready.

Raw mangetout and radish salad

Slice the pods on the diagonal, toss with thinly sliced radishes, rice vinegar, a pinch of sugar and fresh coriander. Crunchy, bright, and about as fresh as lunch gets.
