Provided by Food Network

Categories     appetizer

Time 1h45m

Yield 4 appetizer portions

Number Of Ingredients 12

4 large (4 to 5-ounce) portobello mushroom caps, stemmed
3 tablespoons olive oil
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground white pepper
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1/4 cup small-diced onions
2 tablespoons all-purpose flour
1 cup whole milk
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
1/2 pound lump crabmeat, picked over
1/3 cup grated Gruyere
4 teaspoons bread crumbs

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F.
  • Peel the brown skin from the tops of the mushrooms to reveal the cream colored under skin. Toss the mushroom caps with the 2 tablespoons of the olive oil and season with 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of pepper. Place the caps on an aluminum foil lined baking sheet, stem-end up, and roast in the oven until well roasted and browned, about 35 to 40 minutes. Remove from the oven and cool for 10 minutes.
  • Set a 1-quart saucepan over medium heat and add the butter to the pan. Once the butter is melted, about 1 minute, add the onions and saute until translucent, about 3 minutes. Sprinkle the flour into the pan and stir to form a roux. Continue to cook the roux for 2 to 3 minutes before adding the milk. Bring the milk to a boil and reduce to a simmer, season with the remaining 1/4 teaspoon of salt, 1/4 teaspoon of white pepper and the nutmeg.
  • Cook the bechamel sauce for 5 minutes before removing from the heat. Allow the mixture to cool slightly before folding in the crabmeat and cheese. Combine the bread crumbs with the remaining tablespoon of olive oil.
  • Spoon 1/3 cup of the bechamel over each mushroom cap and sprinkle 1 teaspoon of the bread crumb mixture over each stuffed mushroom. Place in the oven and roast until the bechamel is bubbling and lightly browned on the edges, about 8 to 10 minutes. Serve immediately.

ALL PURPOSE CRAB STUFFING



All Purpose Crab Stuffing image

Use for stuffing shrimp or mussels. It would also make a very good stuffed flounder. I LOVE this recipe and I am proud of it! I made it up all by myself and it took me two years to perfect it.

Provided by Pot Scrubber

Categories     Crab

Time 30m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 large green onion, white and green part minced and chopped
2 tablespoons roasted red peppers (or jarred minced pimentos)
1/2 lb crabmeat (I always use vacuum packed packaged and press it dry through a mesh strainer)
2/3 cup fresh breadcrumb (about 2 slices of white bread processed in your food processor)
1 egg, beaten
1/2 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
1/3 cup mayonnaise (Hellman's or Best brand)
4 tablespoons fresh parsley (minced very finely)
paprika, for lightly sprinkling

Steps:

  • Mix all ingredients in a bowl.
  • For stuffed shrimp -- butterfly them and put one tbsp of mixture on top and bake at 350 for 10-12 minutes. Use the biggest shrimp you can find!
  • For mussels -- place one tbsp of mixture on top of mussels and bake at 350°F for 10-12 minutes. (I buy a two pound frozen bag of New Zealand Mussels on the half shell from Fiesta Market. Just thaw -- top with some stuffing mixture and bake. Delicious!).
  • Makes enough for generously stuffing 20 large shrimp or 2 lbs of mussels on the half shell.
  • Sometimes I will drizzle melted butter over each stuffed mussel or shrimp but do so very very lightly. I will melt butter in the micro and then using a 1/8 tsp measuring spoon pour on each shrimp/mussel. Too much butter and it will become too rich.
  • Lightly sprinkle paprika over all.
  • I love this.

  • Select the right portobello mushrooms: Choose large, flat mushrooms with intact stems. Avoid any with bruises or blemishes.
  • Prepare the portobello mushrooms properly: Remove the stems and gills from the mushrooms. Use a spoon to gently scrape out the gills, being careful not to tear the mushroom caps.
  • Use a variety of crab meat: For the best flavor, use a combination of lump crab meat and claw crab meat. You can also use frozen crab meat, but be sure to thaw it completely before using.
  • Add flavor to the crab stuffing: Mix the crab meat with a variety of herbs, spices, and seasonings to create a flavorful stuffing. Some good options include Old Bay seasoning, lemon zest, and fresh parsley.
