In the world of fine dining, certain encounters transcend flavor and become lasting sensory memories. Such is the essence of the newest collaboration between Harry’s Polanco and Cinco Jotas, an iconic Spanish house with more than 140 years of mastery in the art of Ibérico ham.
As part of this tribute, Harry’s Polanco introduces its seasonal signature dish: Lentils with Cinco Jotas Ibérico Ham, a creation that redefines the classic through a perfect balance of tradition and modernity. Slow-cooked lentils with tomato and carrot sofrito are paired with a perfect egg, seared foie gras, and delicate slices of Cinco Jotas Ibérico Ham, finished with a refined sauce of port wine reduction, butter, and scallions.
