How To Make crab stuffed portabella caps
-
Step 1Preheat oven to 400 degrees.
-
Step 2Add olive oil saute pan

Step 3Add onions, celery, chopped baby bella slices and garlic and once they begin to soften.
-
Step 4Add red bell pepper
-
Step 5Add crab meat, stirring to break apart meat.

Step 7At this point you may need to add some water, maybe 1/4 cup or so, just enough that the mixture looks very wet, not enough water that it goes over the top of the mixture or any veggies are floating.
-
Step 8Next add bread crumbs to mixture, enough to make it paste-like.
-
Step 9Remove from heat, begin adding mixture to large mushroom caps. (I was able to fill 4 large caps, but did have a little leftover to fill a ramekin.)
-
Step 10Sprinkle tops with breadcrumbs and a pat of butter.

Step 11Place mushroom caps in baking dish, add some water to bottom of dish.
