What to eat in Cordoba? The most typical dishes of Cordovan gastronomy
Cordoba is a charming city in southern Spain where you can breathe a good atmosphere in all of its streets. Although it is world-renowned for its mosque-cathedral, it hides many other wonders. Among them, a very varied gastronomy, then… What to eat in Cordoba? These are the most typical dishes of the Cordovan gastronomy.
Ajoblanco or mazamorra
It is made of bread, almonds, garlic, water, olive oil and salt. There are many variations of this dish. In this case, we have tried it with almonds, black olives and eggs. Even though it was much thicker than we expected, we found it delicious.
If you want to try this particular one, you can find at in La Manuela.
Caliphate aubergines
The star ingredient is the aubergine, battered and fried. Covered by sugar cane honey. As you can see, it’s not a particularly healthy dish… But it’s great! Since we tasted it, we can’t help having it everytime we find it.
One of the richest caliphate aubergines we have tasted has been at el Paseo Tavern.
Flamenquin
Although there are many variations in relation to its filling, they all have something in common… They’re all huge! It is said that the traditional flamenquin has to be 18 centimeters long. It is usually accompanied with potatoes, mayonnaise and salad. Exactly as the one we have tried.
We have tried it in one of the Mosque Wineries and it was very good. Although at first, we thought it was small, in the end it turned out to be perfect for two people. We loved it!
Salmorejo
At first glance, it’s one of those dishes that could seem simple, but I assure you it’s a delight. If you go to Cordoba, you’ll be able to find it anywhere. Being a cold dish, it is perfect to take a break on a hot day. I have to admit that at first I wasn’t very fond of this dish… But after visiting Cordoba this has completely changed!
One of the tastiest ones for us was the salmorejo of Restaurante La Tata, a small restaurant near the Mosque of Cordoba with a very economical offer.
Oxtail stew
If you like spoon dishes, this is going to be your favorite dish of Cordoba. Honestly, I found it similar to the gulash from Hungary, although the texture of the oxtail makes it much tastier. We had already tried it before going to Cordoba, so we knew we had to find the best… And we achieved it!
We were lucky because the El Paseo Tavern was very close to our hostel… and curiously its dish has been awarded with the first prize of the Brotherhood of the “Rabo de Toro Cordobés”.
These have been the dishes that we liked the most from Cordoba… But there are many others we haven’t been able to try! Do you know any that are missing from this list? Leave us a comment! We’d love to see new ideas for the next time we travel to this wonderful city.
