Delicious cauliflower florets marinated in lemon paprika and mustard and then coated in a southern spice and herb crust, baked in the oven till crisp and golden, served with a fruity coleslaw and a chipotle mayo 

Make the dip by mixing the sour cream, mayo and chipotle paste together and cover and set aside.

Oven-bake the fritters till the crust is crisp and the cauliflower is soft. Cut the red cabbage, apple and pear into slices and mix together with the peanuts to make the coleslaw.
