Air Fryer Lemon Pepper Roasted Cashews
If you've never started from raw and roasted your own cashews, you are in for a treat. Roasting them in the air fryer makes it a cinch and the golden brown pop in your mouth is nothing like you'll ever get from a can.
Pork Agrodolce
Agrodolce, a generic Italian term for any type of sweet and sour condiment, really shines when used for braising chunks of succulent pork shoulder. This soul-warming comfort food is amazing served on rice, pasta, polenta, or, as seen here, a big pile of ricotta mashed potatoes. I'm not sure if Italians barbecue like we do here in the States, but the sauce very much reminded me of something we'd brush on a rack of ribs while sipping a cold beer.
