This recipe is from Allrecipes.com
2 large portabella mushrooms
1 (8oz) bottle Italian-stylesalad dressing
1 TB minced onion
1.5 tsp minced garlic
1/4 cup butter
1 stalk celery
1/2 C crab meat , fresh or canned
20 buttery round crackers, crushed
2/3 C Italian blend shredded cheese, divided
1. Preheat oven's broiler. Clean mushrooms, and remove stems, reserving them for later. Marinate the mushroom caps in Italian dressing for 15 min. Remove from marinade & place into a baking dish.
2. Broil at least 6 inches from heat for about 10 min. Check occasionally to make sure they do not burn. Turn off the broiler & preheat the oven to 400.
3. Melt butter in a skillet over medium high heat. Chop reserved mushroom stems. Sautee onion, garlic, mushroom stems & celery until tender. Add the crabmeat & heat until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Transfer the skillet mixture to a medium bowl, and mix in crackers, 1/3 C of the cheese blend & mix until well blended. Use some of the Italian dressing marinade to hold the mixture together if necessary. Pack the crab mixture into the cavities of the mushrooms. Season with salt & pepper to taste.
4. Bake for 10 minutes in the preheated oven. Remove from the oven & sprinkle remaining cheese over the tops, then return to the oven for 3 minutes or until cheese has melted.
Our notes.......we used canned crab meat. We did 10 portabellas, for leftovers, so had to adjust accordingly. We had a bit too much moisture in them, but ohhh, were they good. Not to fishy tasting. We did them on the grill & topped ours with Blue Cheese. Hope you like.
