Allan Benton’s Tennessee Prosciutto, made in Madisonville, Tennessee.

On the show today, we are setting the table with Tennessee-made Country Ham or Tennessee prosciutto.

Our featured guest on the show today is Allan Benton of Madisonville, TN. Allan shares his story on how he learned what the word prosciutto meant and how he positioned his product to the world of fine dining. Allan's prosciutto goes toe to toe with some of the most expensive, well-known prosciuttos from all over the world.

I'll share with you an easy appetizer that I have developed and 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 and a link where I demonstrate how to make this on WBIR Channel 10.
