Cauliflower, bacon and cheese fritters

When is it acceptable to fritter away your time? Answer: when the result is crisp cauliflower, battered or fried. We love the florets turned into fritter format with bacon and cheese, or served solo with a simple squeeze of lemon, though Supermaxi’s battered cauliflower and beetroot are a welcome snack, too.
