Why marinate the portabellos?
We always marinate our portabellas before grilling because it adds a ton of flavor to the mushrooms. The marinating step is optional in this stuffed mushroom recipe, but if you have time to do it, it’ll make them that much better. You can use any vinaigrette to marinate them – either store-bought or homemade will be fine. Marinate them for at least 30 minutes, preferably longer – we typically marinate them for 8 hours.
Is this a healthy dish?
Yes! These crab stuffed mushrooms are rich in protein (from the crab meat and egg) and Vitamin D (if your portabellas have been exposed to UV light in the growing process), fiber, B vitamins, potassium, selenium, antioxidants from the portabellas.
