Whether you’re entertaining or making these Crab Stuffed Portobello Mushrooms for a weeknight dinner, this recipe will not disappoint. I love to serve these stuffed mushrooms over a simple shaved Brussel sprouts but feel free to serve over rice, pasta or even as an appetizer on their own.
Where to find the crab meat?
Look for pasteurized jumbo, lump crab in the seafood section of the supermarket. The regular lump crab or even claw meat blends perfectly with the sour cream mixture and goes a lot farther.
Here’s another trick… for mushrooms that’ll hold their shape when stuffed: roast them first, before adding the filling, to draw out some of their extra moisture.
The Brussel Sprouts Salad
Whoever made Brussel sprouts the new cool veggie, thank you! For a while, roasted was the only way I ate Brussel sprouts and then one day I tried the shredded brussel sprouts salad at Cooper’s Hawk and my mind was blown! It’s so simple and doesn’t require a salad dressing, just shredded parmesan cheese, lemon zest and lemon juice.
I like to use my food processor to shred the sprouts but you can also use a mandoline slicer or sharp knife. For this recipe, I also like to roast about a ½ cup of the sprouts to add a little more flavor and texture. You choose what you like! And you feel free to serve this salad alone or with my crab stuffed mushrooms.
INGREDIENTS
Stuffed Mushrooms
24 large baby Bella mushrooms (about 1 lb.)
Olive oil cooking spray
8 oz fresh lump crabmeat
¼ cup scallions chopped
6 tablespoons nonfat sour cream
¼ cup Parmesan grated
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon dried thyme
¼ teaspoon black pepper
⅛ teaspoon paprika
Brussel sprout salad
1 pound brussels sprouts
½ cup finely grated Parmesan cheese
Lemon zest and juice of one lemon
Salt and Pepper (to taste)
INSTRUCTIONS
Stuffed Mushrooms
Preheat the broiler, setting the temperature on high. Set an oven rack in the middle of the oven (this will prevent the mushrooms from scorching under the broiler). Line a broiler-safe rimmed baking sheet with foil.
Use damp paper towels to gently wipe the mushrooms clean. Gently twist the stems off. Spray the mushrooms with olive oil on both sides. Broil in the middle of the oven until just tender, 2-3 minutes per side. Drain on paper towels.
Transfer the crabmeat to a medium bowl, feeling through the meat to make sure no shell pieces remain.
Add the remaining ingredients except for the paprika and mix well until fully combined.
Spoon the crab mixture into the mushrooms, dividing it evenly. Each mushroom should hold about 2 tablespoons of filling. Pack the filling into the mushrooms and pile it high.
Sprinkle the stuffed mushrooms with paprika.
Arrange the mushrooms, filling side up, back on the baking sheet.
Lightly spray them with olive oil.
Broil the mushrooms briefly, just until the filling is warm and golden, for about 3 minutes.
Brussel Sprouts Salad
Shave the Brussel sprouts using a food processor and place in a large bowl, breaking them up with your hands and discarding any tough pieces.
Take ¼ cup of the sprouts and place on a baking sheet. Broil for ten minutes until the edges are brown and crispy.
Toss the cooked and raw sprouts in a large bowl with the lemon zest and juice until coated. Let sit at room temperature for at least 15 minutes to allow the sprouts to soften and the flavors to combine.
Before serving, toss in the grated parmesan and taste again for seasonings, adding more salt and pepper, if needed.
This light and healthy meal, Pan seared scallops with warm asparagus and salad with orange dressing comes together in just 20 minutes. It can be made with scallops or with other fish like salmon, cod, snapper, halibut, or sea bass… or even grilled chicken. The dressing is very universal- citrusy and flavorful and perfect on so many things!
INGREDIENTS
For the dressing
1/4 cup orange juice
3 tablespoons sesame oil
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
1 teaspoon salt
freshly ground black pepper
For the scallops
1 tablespoon olive oil
12 scallops
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
For the salad
1 small bunch asparagus cut in about 3 inch pieces
6 cups baby kale
1/4 cup thinly sliced red onion
2 oranges peeled and cut into segments
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 tablespoon olive oil
INSTRUCTIONS
Make the dressing
In a small bowl, whisk together the orange juice, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, salt and pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Cook the scallops
Heat a large non-stick skillet over medium-high heat, heat about 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Working in batches, lightly season the scallops with salt and pepper, and sear for about 2 minutes, or until golden brown on one side. Flip the scallops and cook for about 2-3 minutes more, until the other side is also golden brown. Transfer to a plate and set aside.
Make the salad
Bring about an inch of water to a boil in a deep-sided skillet or sauté pan. When the water is bubbling, salt the water, then drop the asparagus and cook the asparagus for about 2 minutes, or until bright green. Strain the asparagus in a sieve, running it under cold running water. Set aside.
Return the skillet to the stove and heat it over medium heat. Add the remaining tablespoon of olive oil, and drop in the kale and red onion. Stir the kale and cook for about 1-2 minutes, then add the asparagus and about 2 tablespoons of the dressing.
Transfer the asparagus and kale into bowls.
Top with scallops, orange segments and a sprinkling of sesame seeds. Serve with additional dressing.

Tender seasoned beef patties smothered in mushrooms & shallots baked in a rich a decadent gravy.
Salisbury steak is the ultimate comfort food. Here’s a twist on an oldie… In this recipe I made some slight changes to dress it up!
The patties are made with lean beef because it has a lot of flavor but it’s not overly greasy. The meat is mixed with truffle oil, barbeque sauce, Worcestershire sauce, cheese and seasonings, then formed into oval shaped “steaks”.
The patties are cooked to golden brown, and then a simple gravy is made with shallots, mushrooms, beef broth and a little flour which is used as a thickener.
The end result is tender flavorful patties that are just smothered in rich gravy.
You can serve them over mashed potatoes or my favorite wild rice.
INGREDIENTS
Meat Mixture:
1 1/2 pounds lean ground beef
1 tablespoon barbecue sauce
4 dashes Worcestershire sauce
¼ cup shredded Italian blend cheese
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon dried parsley
1 egg
Salt and pepper
1 tablespoon truffle oil or olive oil
Gravy:
4 shallots, thinly slices
1 pint sliced mushrooms
2 cups beef broth, more if needed for thinning
1 teaspoon truffle oil, if using
1 tablespoon barbecue
4 dashes Worcestershire
1 teaspoon dried rosemary
1 teaspoon dried thyme
2 tablespoon flour, add more if needed
Salt and pepper to taste
INSTRUCTIONS
For the meat mixture:
Combine all the ingredients. Knead until all combined. Form into 4 to 6 oval patties.
Fry the patties in a skillet with the butter and oil over medium-high heat on both sides until no longer pink in the middle. Remove from the skillet and pour off any excess grease.
For the gravy:
Reduce the heat to medium and add in the mushrooms. Cook for 2 minutes then add in the sliced shallots. Stir and cook until golden brown and somewhat soft, for several minutes. Add the beef stock, truffle oil, barbecue, and Worcestershire. Sprinkle in the dried herbs and combine.
Make a well in the middle of the pan and add the flour. Whisk until combined.
Add a sprinkle of salt and pepper and more broth if needed for thinning. Then return the patties to the gravy. Spoon the gravy over the top and let them simmer and heat back up for a couple of minutes.
Serve over wild rice, white rice or mashed potatoes.
