Lard with liquid smoke
Description
The appetizer is prepared quickly and easily. Lard with liquid smoke in an air fryer is a very tasty way to make a favorite meat snack. This kind of lard is perfect for making sandwiches or small festive canapes with a pickled cucumber. I recommend using lard with thick meat layers (this is my personal preference), so that the lard not only melts in your mouth, but also gives your teeth something to bite into :) Good luck, and serve with herbs and sauce.
