 MANGE
TOUT
The
fine and slender almost translucent pods of mange
tout (from the French for 'eat all') contain very
young tiny tender peas. The whole mange tout pod
is eaten and they have a crisp texture with a
flavour similar to peas. Look for bright green,
crisp pods.
How To Use Mange Tout
Mange
tout can be served raw or cooked. Include raw
mange tout in salads or serve with a selection
of mixed raw vegetables as crudité with
dips. They can be served as a side dish or included
in stir-fries.
How To Prepare Mange Tout
Mange
tout need very little preparation, simply wash
and top and tail if the ends are tough.
How To Cook Mange Tout
Mange
tout can be steamed or stir-fried. To steam,
place the prepared mange tout in a steamer and
cook for 3 - 4 minutes or until just tender.
Do not overcook or they will lose their flavour
and crunchy texture. To stir fry, heat 1 tbsp
olive oil in a frying pan, add the mange tout
and stir fry for 2 - 3 minutes or until just
tender.
How To Store Mange Tout
Keep
refrigerated after purchase.
