Mangetout
Flat, crunchy pods, to be eaten whole.
Mangetout, or snow pea, is a flat, tender pod harvested before the peas develop. It is eaten whole, once the string is removed. Crunchy and sweet, it cooks very quickly, stir-fried in the wok, blanched or steamed, or is served raw in julienne in a salad.
