Oregon Sugar Pod
from our plotA 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.
in the kitchen
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.
