PORTABELLA MUSHROOMS TOPPED WITH CRAB IMPERIAL A LA JOHN SHIELDS



Portabella Mushrooms Topped With Crab Imperial a La John Shields image

A personal favorite! This is very close to the appetizer served at John Shields' restaurant at the Baltimore Museum of Art called "Gertrude's," which started me on this chase. Some people say everything is better with bacon; I say everything is better with dry sherry! At Gertrude's, John Shields further reduces the butter/sherry liquid to create a thick pool on the plate on which to place the stuffed mushrooms; if you prefer to do that, use 4 tablespoons butter to saute the bell peppers and chopped mushrooms. And if the only crabmeat you can get is the pasteurized canned crabmeat, this recipe gives you your best shot at making it taste GOOD. From "Chesapeake Bay Cooking with John Shields". Note: In Maryland, crab-stuffed mushrooms can resemble a crab cake sitting atop a mushroom cap "plate"; do not picture a mushroom cap with scant filling, that's not our style. You do not want the taste of the portabello mushrooms to overwhelm the crab.

Time 57m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 18

6 tablespoons butter (3/4 stick)
4 portabella mushrooms, 4-inch diameter (or 16-20 medium mushrooms, stemmed)
1/4 cup dry sherry
2 tablespoons green bell peppers, diced
2 tablespoons red bell peppers, diced (or 2 tablespoons pimento)
1/2 cup mushroom, chopped
3/4 cup light mayonnaise
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
1/4 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1 teaspoon capers, drained and chopped
1/2 teaspoon black pepper, freshly ground
1 teaspoon Old Bay Seasoning
1 lb lump crabmeat, picked over
1 egg, beaten
1/4 cup mayonnaise
1 pinch paprika
1 tablespoon parsley, chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • SAUTE MUSHROOMS:.
  • Melt the butter in a skillet large enough to hold your mushrooms at one time. Saute the mushroom caps for 5 minutes, or until barely tender.
  • Pour in the sherry, turn up the heat, and reduce the liquid by half.
  • Remove from the heat and let cool.
  • Meanwhile line a baking/broiling tray with aluminum foil. Place the mushroom caps on the tray, reserving the butter/sherry liquid in the skillet.
  • MAKE CRAB MIXTURE:.
  • Saute the bell peppers and mushrooms in the reserved butter/sherry liquid until soft. Set aside.
  • Combine the mayonnaise, mustard, Worcestershire, Tabasco, capers, pepper, and Chesapeake seasoning in a small bowl and mix well. Add the sauteed peppers and mushrooms.
  • Place the crabmeat in a mixing bowl and pour the seasoned mayonnaise mixture over it. Toss gently.
  • Spoon the crabmeat mixture on top of the mushroom caps (already on the aluminum-foil-lined trays).
  • Bake at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 20 to 25 minutes.
  • MAKE IMPERIAL TOPPING:.
  • Meanwhile, combine all Imperial Topping ingredients in a small bowl and mix well.
  • Preheat the broiler.
  • Spoon the topping evenly over each mound of crabmeat.
  • Broil for 1 to 2 minutes, or until nicely browned. (If broiler is unavailable, brown the top in the oven. It will take a bit longer.).
  • Serve immediately. Serves 4.

Tips:

  • Mise en Place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and tools ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around in the middle of cooking.
  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. This is especially important for seafood, which can easily become tough and dry if it's not fresh.
  • Don't Overcook Seafood: Seafood cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Overcooked seafood is tough and chewy.
  • Season to Taste: Don't be afraid to add more seasoning to your dishes as you cook. Taste the food as you go and adjust the seasoning accordingly.
  • Use a Variety of Cooking Methods: Don't just boil or fry your seafood. Try grilling, baking, or steaming it for a change of pace. Different cooking methods can bring out different flavors and textures in seafood.
  • Serve Seafood with Simple Sides: Seafood is a delicate protein, so it doesn't need a lot of fuss to make it shine. Serve it with simple sides like roasted vegetables, rice, or pasta.

Conclusion:

Seafood is a delicious and healthy addition to any diet. It's a good source of protein, omega-3 fatty acids, and other essential nutrients. With so many different types of seafood available, there's sure to be a kind that you'll enjoy. So next time you're looking for a healthy and delicious meal, try one of the recipes in this article.
