"Had this dish somewhere and had been craving ever since. Unable to find the recipe, put together my own and it turned out just as I'd hoped. The key is the saltiness of the Smithfield ham. No canned mushrooms allowed! Only the fresh boys. Suppose you could use prosciuotto in place of Smithfield ham. Hope you find this as easy and delightful as I did."
