Default When to harvest Asparagus Peas?

Victoria Clare wrote:

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?


Less than 1.5" or even smaller, otherwise they're dry and mealy.


Any recipe recommendations, or just butter like asparagus?


I buttered them like nice peas or asparagus, and concluded they weren't
worth the butter :-)
