Instructions

Cut 1 pound pork shoulder into slices no more than ½-inch thick.
Put the slices on a chopping board and lightly pound each side with a tenderizer.
Salt the pork on both sides.

Coating:

Crack 2 eggs into a bowl and beat them with a fork (no blender). Salt the eggs lightly.
Pour ⅓ cup all-purpose flour into a shallow bowl. Put 1 cup breadcrumbs in another separate bowl.
Coat each slice of meat in the following order: Firstly in the flour, then in beaten eggs, and finally in breadcrumbs. After dredging the meat in flour and breadcrumbs, shake off the excess coating.

Frying:

Heat up a thick layer of fat in a frying pan.
Fry the coated Řízky until they turn golden brown. Each side should take 3 to 4 minutes.
Serve with boiled potatoes or potato mash. Garnish with a sprig of parsley and a wedge of lemon (optional).

Notes

The basic recipe makes about 4-6 slices of Řízky.
Before you start eating, squeeze the juice out of the lemon onto the Řízek. Dobrou chuť!
