Fried Cauliflower

Had this in Fes actually, but I'll post as much of the recipe as I know (aka the list of ingredients).
1) Cook the cauliflower almost all the way (boil, steam, whatever)
2) Mix together a bunch of olive oil, an egg, a few (possibly many) cloves of garlic, some (possibly a lot of) cumin, salt, a hefty chunk of parsley, and I think some amount of harissa but I'm not entirely sure about that. Generally the important principle is "something spicy".
3) Fry the almost-cooked cauliflower in that mixture for a short period of time.


If anyone tries this and it tastes good, then that means that my darija is improving!
