Matcha tofu mousse or I do really fail at styling

I really, sincerely, want to take a good food picture. But I’m also innately, irrevocably lazy. And not very artistically gifted. Look at this:

Matcha roasted pork belly with chimichurri sauce

20 Mar

Finally started blogging on food again! I feel so empowered, now that I have a new camera. I’m also excited about the Indian recipes I gleaned from my landlord. I’ve never really cared for Indian cuisine but staying with her changed my mind a little. I still don’t want to bother with searching for official/proper Indian recipes, so, it will not probably be 100% “knowledgeable sounding”.

This dish I made tonight – ok, not to brag or anything, but it was SOO good. I can’t claim originality (chimichurri sauce is an Argentinian sauce), I can at least claim execution :D The sour, sharp taste of vinegar cuts through the richness of pork belly, and the matcha (Japanese green tea) rub gives it a refreshing, toasty coat. Mmmm….

Exhausted after chopping so much stuff for the sauce (yes, I know there’s a thing called food processor…), so, with no further ado, recipe!
