A tasty and energizing dish that “fights fatigue”: mangetout in coffee-flavoured batter

Coffee and healthy surroundings – a quick and easy recipe, ideal for the summer.

Mangetout are a type of peas whose pods are eaten as well as the peas inside them. They are rich in remineralizing properties, such as iron, and great allies against tiredness and anaemia. The burst of energy is given by coffee. We like to consider it a fanciful appetizer or quick pre-dinner dish. Vegan chef Roberta Tribastone prepares it for thesignmoak.
