Liver-filled zrazy
Description
The recipe won't take much time. You can use any variety meat you prefer for these zrazy—heart, liver, or lungs. However, they should be boiled separately, as each requires a different cooking time. The zrazy don't need long frying, since all ingredients are almost cooked. After frying, you can bake them in a preheated oven at 180°C (356°F) for 5–7 minutes. But don't leave them in too long, or they may spread out and turn into something resembling pancakes. Serve hot.
