Allan Benton's Tennessee Country Ham “Prosciutto" from made in Madisonville, Tennessee.

Setting the table with Country Ham, and how through the dry-aged process, and sliced paper thin, is then called “Prosciutto. Our guest on the show today is Allan Benton, of Madisonville, TN - he shares his story on how he learned what the word Prosciutto meant, and how he positioned his product to the world of fine dining - and now, his prosciutto goes to toe with some of the most expensive, and well-known imported prosciuttos. And Allan Benton’s dry-aged, country hams are produced in Madisonville, Tennessee.

I (Amy Campbell) share a recipe for an easy-to-make appetizer that I have named “Smoky Mountain Sushi” - It is not made with seafood, but rather country, ham, collard greens and black-eyed peas. Keep scrolling for the recipe.
