Discover an unusual heritage vegetable that is unrelated to either asparagus or garden peas. Compact plants produce attractive maroon flowers followed by distinctive winged green pods. Pick the pods while they are no more than 2.5cm/1in long, when they are at their most tender. Steamed and tossed in butter, their flavour and texture are pleasantly reminiscent of asparagus.
