Method

Cut 2 x 2cm thick steaks from the centre of the cauliflower, keeping the stem intact. Put the egg, breadcrumbs and flour in separate shallow bowls. Add the chilli flakes and 1 tsp smoked paprika to the flour; season. Stir the remaining paprika into the breadcrumbs and set aside.
For the slaw, put the cabbage, onion and cauliflower leaves in a bowl with the lemon juice; season with salt and scrunch with your hands to coat. Set aside for 2 mins, then stir through the sriracha and crumble in the Stilton. Set aside.
Coat 1 cauliflower steak in the seasoned flour, then cover in the beaten egg and finally the breadcrumbs. Repeat with the second steak.
Meanwhile, heat the oil in a large, deep frying pan over a medium-high heat until it reaches 180°C, or until a cube of bread browns in 30 secs. Shallow-fry the steaks for 3 mins each side; transfer to a plate lined with kitchen paper to drain.
To assemble, put a small handful of rocket (if using) on the bun bases, then add some slaw. Halve the cauliflower steaks through the stem and place on top of the slaw. Spread the bun lids with a little mayonnaise, if you like, then sandwich together.
