What is Flamenquín?
Flamenquín is a traditional Spanish food. It's made by taking thin slices of a special Spanish ham called jamón serrano. These ham slices are then wrapped around pieces of tender pork loin.
How is Flamenquín Made?
After wrapping the ham around the pork, the roll is covered in a crunchy breadcrumb coating. Then, it is cooked by deep-frying until it turns golden brown and crispy. This cooking method makes the outside super crunchy and the inside soft and tasty.
What's Inside a Flamenquín?
While the classic flamenquín uses ham and pork loin, there are many fun variations! Sometimes, people use boiled ham instead of pork loin. You can also find flamenquines with other yummy fillings. These might include different kinds of fish, tasty cheese, or even poultry like chicken.
How Big Are They?
Flamenquines can come in different sizes. Some are small, like little balls, perfect for a quick snack. Others can be quite long, up to about 40 centimetres (16 in)! They can be served whole, or cut into smaller pieces, especially the longer ones, so everyone can share.
