Mediterranean Crab and Couscous Stuffed Mushrooms
This recipe for Mediterranean Crab and Couscous Stuffed Mushrooms combines lump crab meat with red peppers, garlic and feta for a fresh, healthy dish!
Ingredients
- 1 cup couscous cooked
- 1/2 cup crab meat fresh lump
- 1/4 cup Parmesan Cheese grated
- 1/4 cup feta cheese crumbled
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1/2 cup red bell pepper chopped, roasted
- 1 tbsp green onions chopped
- 1 tbsp olive oil
- 2 portobello mushrooms large
Instructions
- Before you start the recipe, you’ll want to make sure that you have cooked couscous prepared. To cook the couscous, you’ll add ½ cup of salted water to a small saucepan. Bring the water to a boil on the stove. Remove from the heat and add ½ cup of couscous to the water. Cover and let stand for 5 minutes. After 5 minutes, remove the lid from the couscous and fluff with a fork.
- Combine the cooked couscous, crab meat, parmesan cheese, feta cheese and minced garlic in a mixing bowl. Add the red peppers and green onions, and combine well.
- Remove the stem and clean the gills from the under side of the mushrooms. Use a wet paper towel to clean the mushrooms. Brush each side of the mushrooms with olive oil.
- Stuff the crab and couscous mixture into the mushrooms.
- Grill over medium heat for 15 minutes, or cook them on a baking sheet in the oven at 350°F for 15 minutes.
Notes
- To ensure your stuffed mushrooms are not watery, clean the mushrooms by wiping them with a damp paper towel, or clean vegetable brush, instead of drenching them in water to avoid the mushrooms soaking up extra moisture.
