- Remove any leaves from the cauliflower. Cut the cauliflower into small florets and cut the stalk into 1cm cubes. Boil for 10 mins until tender.
- Drain the cauliflower and leave to steam dry for 5 mins. Put the cheese sauce and 100g flour in a large bowl and season with pepper. Mix together until smooth.
- Chop the cauliflower into small pieces. Add to the cheese sauce and stir well to coat.
- Heat the oil in a large nonstick frying pan over a medium high heat. Using two dessert spoons, add scoops of the cauliflower batter into the pan, well-spaced apart. Flatten and shape into rounds. Fry for 3 mins until golden around the edges and set, then flip and fry for another 3 mins. Repeat with the remaining mixture – you should get 12 fritters in total.
- Meanwhile, tip the crunchy veg from the coleslaw mix into a bowl and add the sachet of mayonnaise. Season with pepper and stir well until the veg is well coated. Chill until ready to serve.
- When all the fritters are cooked, divide between plates and serve with the coleslaw and salad.
