Sort:

Flamenquín

Non-veg

Pork loin wrapped around serrano ham, rolled long, breadcrumbed and deep-fried, then cut into lengths. Served with chips and alioli and not pretending to be anything lighter.

€8–14

Best around: San Pedro and Judería

Mazamorra

Veg

Almonds, bread, garlic, olive oil and vinegar blended into a pale cold cream, usually finished with something sharp — apple, raisins, salt cod — to cut it.

€5–10

Best around: Plaza San Miguel

Pastel cordobés

Veg

Rounds of puff pastry filled with cabello de ángel — candied pumpkin strands — dusted with sugar and cinnamon and baked until the top blisters.

€2–4

Mild

Rabo de toro

Non-veg

Oxtail braised for hours with red wine, carrot and onion until the meat gives way, usually served with chips or potato. The sauce is the point and it is reduced almost to a glaze.

€16–24

Best around: San Pedro and Judería

Salmorejo cordobés

Non-veg

Tomato, bread, garlic and a great deal of olive oil blended to something between a soup and a cream, served cold and topped with chopped hard-boiled egg and jamón. Thicker than gazpacho, and without the cucumber or pepper that would make it one.

€4–9

Best around: San Pedro and Judería
