Where to Eat the Best Flamenquín in Córdoba: the Most Authentic Recipe
If you’re looking for the best flamenquín in Córdoba, at La Esquinita de la Judería we make it following the most traditional recipe: serrano ham rolled in pork, breaded and fried until the outside is golden and crispy while the inside stays juicy.
The Origin of a Cordoban Classic
Flamenquín is, together with salmorejo and oxtail stew, one of the most representative dishes of Córdoba. Where the name and origin come from is still debated among several towns in the province, but there’s no argument about its power to win over anyone who tries it for the first time. It’s one of the most ordered starters on our menu, and that’s no coincidence: it’s tasty, hearty and perfect for sharing.
Among our specialties:
- Quality pork, laid out flat and rolled with serrano ham inside.
- Artisan breading, which gives it that signature crispy texture when fried.
- We serve several versions on our menu, including the classic and variations with bacon and cheese for those looking for something different.
It’s a dish that pairs perfectly with other classics on our menu, like our oxtail croquettes or salmorejo, if you want to take a full tour of Cordoban cuisine in a single visit.
