Marinated Lump Crabmeat On Grilled Portabella Recipes

CRAB STUFFED PORTOBELLOS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
• Put a large skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of the coconut oil. Once heated, add the portobello stems and sliced scallions and saute until tender, about 2 minutes. Fold in the crabmeat, Creole seasoning, and salt and pepper to taste. Brush the mushroom caps with the last tablespoon of coconut oil. Stuff the caps with the crab filling and put into the oven to roast for 15 minutes.
• Remove the mushrooms from the oven and top with the Parmesan. Put back into the oven and continue cooking until the cheese has melted, another 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from the oven and cut as desired for serving.

MARINATED LUMP CRABMEAT ON GRILLED PORTABELLA

Steps:

• Mix the balsamic vinaigrette ingredients together and marinate the mushrooms in 1 cup of the vinaigrette for 30 minutes. Heat grill and place red peppers and portobellos on the griddle and grill for 6-8 minutes. Set aside to cool.
• While that's cooling, marinate the crabmeat with the sour cream and a drizzle of lemon juice. Season with sea salt, pepper, a hint of cayenne and chives. Mix crabmeat gently so as to not break of the lumps.
• Split the grilled peppers in half and remove skin and seeds. Cut into 1/4" wide strips, cut the mushrooms the same way.
• Split cherry tomatoes in half and combine with the mushrooms and pepper salad, add the remaining balsamic vinaigrette but leave a few spoonfuls aside for garnishing the plate. Spread the mushroom and pepper salad in the center of the each of 4 plates. Place 3 leaves of Belgian endive on top and fill with the crabmeat. Garnish with baby greens. Drizzle the viniagrette around the plate for taste and presentation.

CRAB-STUFFED PORTOBELLO MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 375°F and coat a shallow baking pan with nonstick spray.
• Remove the stems from the portobello caps, dice them and add to a mixing bowl.
• Using a spoon, scrape the gills from the mushrooms, then brush the caps clean and arrange them on the prepared baking pan.
• Season each mushroom cap with salt and pepper and set aside.
• Add the crab, panko, onions, garlic, thyme and lemon juice to the chopped mushroom stems.
• Reserve 2 tablespoons of the shredded cheese and add the remainder to the crab mixture.
• Combine gently and season to taste with salt and pepper before stirring in the beaten egg.
• Divide the stuffing between the mushrooms and compress gently to form a slight mound.
• Bake until the crab mixture is set and light golden brown, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Remove from the oven and top each mushroom with a portion of the remaining cheese and bake for an additional 2 to 4 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and bubbly.
• Serve with lemon wedges and a dash of hot sauce if desired.
