Flamenquín is a typical recipe from the province of Córdoba, which apparently received that name because of the golden color of its breading, like that of the flamenco blondes that accompanied Emperor Charles V.
The flamenquín consists of a meat roll, usually pork, stuffed with Serrano ham and coated in breadcrumbs and egg. It is usually accompanied by chips, salad and mayonnaise. Today the recipe has been extended in numerous bars and taverns that have come introducing variants both in the meat used (chicken, beef, ham, and even fish) and in the filling (cheese, minced meat, hard-boiled egg, red pepper , prawns)
Without a doubt, a tender, finite and well fried and golden flamenquin is to the taste of any child.
Ingredients: 4 fillets of pork loin cut lengthwise and thin, 200 grams of slices of serrano ham, eggs, breadcrumbs, olive oil and salt.
Preparation: From a strip of pork loin about 20 cm long, cut four thin fillets lengthwise. They should not be very thick so that they allow us to roll them well and to fry them well inside. Squash the fillets to widen them and add a little salt to the fillets.
We place the serrano ham strips in the middle of each fillet lengthwise and carefully roll it over the ham, forming an elongated cylinder. We passed the flamenquín through the egg and we breaded it. We fry the flamenquín at a moderate temperature until golden.
