When to harvest Asparagus Peas?

My Asparagus peas (google says Tetragonolobus purpureus or Lotus
tetragonolobus: I have no idea) have been flowering well and have produced
a number of pods.
I've never grown them before. How big should the pods be before
harvesting?
Not more than about an inch long - they get tough.
Any recipe recommendations, or just butter like asparagus?
Like asparagus.
They taste nice, and the flowers are pretty (red with a black spot), but
the pods are small and fiddly to harvest. It takes an awful lot to get a
meal. I don't think I'd grow it again for food, but see what you think.
