About Pois d'Angole
Pois d'Angole is the French name for pigeon peas, a small, rounded legume sold fresh, dried, or split. The peas are usually green when fresh and can be tan, brown, or mottled when mature and dried; their flavour is earthy and mildly nutty, with a firm texture before cooking.
Dried pigeon peas are commonly soaked and simmered until tender, while fresh peas need less cooking. They are used in soups, stews, and other cooked preparations. Colour, maturity, and whether the peas are whole, split, fresh, or dried affect cooking time and final texture.
