Episode 809: Maitake Mushrooms & Italian Basil

Guest Chef: Daniel Bruce

Japan and Italy provide Ming’s master pair. Maitake mushrooms and Italian basil are two  pantry regulars that are fast becoming favorites. On today’s SIMPLY MING, Ming uses them to create a "Confit" Maitake Mushroom Salad with Tomato Carpaccio and Maitake Fettuccine with Basil-Macadamia Nut Pesto.  Then, the pair hit Philadelphia with Ming’s “ Philly Cheese Steak" with Maitake Mushrooms and Yukon Gold Potato Fries.   Finally,  the great Daniel Bruce of Meritage will join Ming using today’s dynamic duo in his Pan Seared Salmon with Maitake, Italian Basil, Sweet Corn and  Watercress Sautee.
