This venison prosciutto is a reminder of a season long past, and how our perspectives and expectations can change. It’s texturally perfect, slicing as nicely as any Italian or Spanish ham I have ever put a knife to.
Pancetta is similar to bacon, but it’s not smoked and has a heavier focus on aromatics. It would be easier to just buy some humanely raised artisan pancetta, but we have venison and pork fat, and it's fun to attempt something that blurs the lines and challenges the senses.
