Falafel is a mainstay in many a vegan’s weekly menu plan. A lunchtime fallback and perennial ‘we don’t know what else to serve you’ fave, it’s become something of an unofficial running joke in vegan circles. I too was becoming a wee bit tired of consuming yet another falafel-and-salad-stuffed pitta and honestly didn’t believe ‘poaching’ them would make that much difference. Or so I thought.
