Hi Steemians! After the unexpected success at SSC # 11 today, my contribution to the Paleo Challenge! A red couscous of cauliflower and beetroot awaits you with poultry skewer and a delicious almond dip. I always say there are simple recipes, which is also present today. But it's already a bit of work ... but it's worth it!

Preparation:

For the marinade, wash the lemon and rub the peel off the juice. Press the garlic. Combine the lemon peel, the juice and the garlic together with the herbs, the mustard and the olive oil. Then season with salt and pepper and mix well.






Cut the poultry fillets into 3-4 cm cubes, mix well with the marinade, and let them cool for at least 1 hour.

Congrats on placing in the contest. I knew it was a winner when I first saw it!

Hi gringa I've just seen it, its incredible!Thanks for your nice words!

This looks delicious!! Good luck with the challenge!

@steved Congratulations!
You won again!

Incredible! I'm a bit embarrassed! Thanks a lot for this !

@steved why be embarrassed?

You put out an entry that's beautifully plated how can you not win?
It's you who's brought that to yourself and @kiwideb to thank - she did all the judging I totally have nothing to do with the results :)

Uau!! Really impressed! Amazing recipe and photos!! Good luck on the SCC

Thanks for your great reply! I appreciate that very much!

You're welcome! This post totally raises SCC to another level! :)

Now I'm a little embarrassed ... thank you so much @liliana.duarte !!!

Don't be!;) It's only my opinion, honestly hope others think the same :)

@steved thank you for putting out such a wonderful entry.
However, before I could acknowledge your entry I need to clarify whether the mustard you added is self made or processed?

It's SOP and I have already turned down 2 posts. I've reposted the theme and ingredients guideline here to clarify again that we want - natural food only and a few processed food that passes paleo rules like cheese, yoghurt and butter etc.

If it happens that your mustard is not self made, would you please tell us what the ingredients on the label says? I hope you understand we're just doing standard operating procedures. Thank you and hope to hear from you soon.

EDIT: by the way if you are on the chat please keep in touch with us or join us in the SCC channel thank you very much again.

Oh sorry my mistake...of course the mustard is self made but not especially for the challenge because it got a long shelflife.

Here the ingredients:
100g yellow mustard seeds
160g fresh gooseberry
50ml apple vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
1-2 tbsp honey

Understand the procedure and find it great that you are so committed! Thank you!

@steved thank you for being open-minded. I appreciate that a lot. For so many times I hate going through this - it sucks watching an entry being put out and I just may not acknowledge it specially if the post reflects all the effort the author went through.

Thank you for clarifying that and no need to apologize. I have but another question - what does the apple vinegar say? Is it 100% fermented apple?

EDIT : am still online in the chat anyway.

You are a perfectionist😉 The vinegar is self made from my dad! 50% boskoop rouge 50% boertlinger wine apple...no sugar add, just time!

@steved perfectionist - ouch !
no I'm not in anyway that - just maybe very cautious :)
anyway, I'm thankful for your patience, too.
In that case - this entry is acknowledged!

Thank you so much @englishtchrivy ! It must have all its correctness!

@steved replying on your nested comment below, thank you very much as well.
I appreciate you for bearing with the SOP.
Thank you and good luck!

Excellent my friend @steved this dish should be awarded, thank you very much for the recipe and congratulations this looks delicious
