Ingredients
- 8 oz lump crab meat
- 6 oz cream cheese, softened
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 2 green onions, thinly sliced (plus more for garnish)
- 1 teaspoon lemon zest
- 1/4 cup toasted panko breadcrumbs
- 12 small portobello mushrooms, stems removed
- 3–4 wonton wrappers
- Thai chili sauce, for drizzling
- Optional: wood chunks for smoke (e.g., cherry or oak)
Recipe Steps
1. Make the Filling:
- In a mixing bowl, combine crab meat, softened cream cheese, soy sauce, green onions, lemon zest, and toasted panko. Mix until well blended.
- Chill the filling in the fridge while you prepare the mushrooms and grill.
2. Prep the Mushrooms:
- Gently clean mushrooms and remove stems. Set aside.
3. Crisp the Wonton Wrappers:
- Slice wonton wrappers into strips or leave whole.
- Fry in hot oil until golden and crispy. Drain on paper towels and set aside to cool. These will be crushed and used as a crunchy topping.
4. Set Up the Grill:
- Prepare your grill for indirect grilling at medium-high heat (about 375–400°F).
- Place 1–2 wood chunks in the smoker box if using.
5. Stuff the Mushrooms:
- Spoon the chilled crab Rangoon mixture into each mushroom cap.
- Place the mushrooms on the Oscarware perforated grill topper. (Tip: Add the food to the topper before placing it on the grill to prevent sticking.)
6. Grill the Mushrooms:
- Use the grill topper to transfer the mushrooms to the grill.
- Grill indirectly (cool side of the grill) with the lid closed for 20 minutes.
- Move the mushrooms over direct heat for the last 5 minutes to finish with a slight char.
7. Finish and Serve:
- Remove the grill topper from the grill (it doubles as a serving tray).
- Top each mushroom with crushed wonton wrappers, more sliced green onion, and a drizzle of Thai chili sauce.
- Serve warm as an appetizer or side.
