Ingredients:

1 pound (about 20) medium mushrooms of equal size
2 green onions including some tender green tops, cut up
1 clove garlic, cut up
2 tablespoons butter or margarine
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1/4 pound fresh crab meat, flaked
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1/4 teaspoon salt
Vegetable oil, for brushing on mushroom caps
Paprika

Directions:

Clean mushrooms and remove stems neatly. Place stems in food processor along with 1 mushroom cap, green onions, and garlic. Process until coarsely chopped.

Preheat oven to 350F. In a small, nonstick skillet over medium heat melt butter. Add mushroom mixture and saute until vegetables are soft, about 1 minute. Remove from heat and add crumbs, crab, lemon juice, and salt and mix well. Rub oil on sides and bottom of caps. Fill mushroom caps with filling, making a round mound on top. Sprinkle with paprika.

Place on a baking sheet and bake until mushrooms are heated through and slightly soft, about 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate and serve immediately.

Makes about 20 servings.

Stuffed mushrooms are always a party favorite, especially when they are filled with fresh, delicate Dungeness crab. Using the food processor saves time in chopping.
