Try it in the kitchen
Cook the young pods and serve them with olive oil and lemon beside rice or fish. Give them a plate of their own so the whole-pod shape remains visible.
Taccole are edible-pod peas. Try them as a pan-cooked side with leek, as in DonnaD’s cooking guide.
Look for an edible-pod type
Check that the product is identified as edible-pod peas. Ordinary peas for shelling and edible-pod types are different choices; a green pod alone does not tell you which one you have.
