Рецепт Gluten Free Crab Stuffed Mushrooms Appetizers {$75 VISA Gift Card Giveaway + Coupons!)
Are you looking for gluten free appetizers for your Christmas party that will amaze all your guests, including the ones who aren’t on a gluten free diet? Then you have to try these Gluten Free Crab Stuffed Mushrooms Appetizers! These crab stuffed mushrooms are incredible. Even my kids who don’t like mushrooms were coming back for seconds and thirds. So imagine how your party guests will act!
Now these Gluten Free Crab Stuffed Mushrooms Appetizers do take some effort. However, I find that if you’re making one batch, you might as well double the batch of gluten free appetizers as it’s not that much more of an effort. I swear these Gluten Free Crab Stuffed Mushrooms Appetizers will disappear in a heart beat. So you’ll want to keep one batch of crab stuffed mushroom appetizers in the oven warm on a platter waiting to go! Trans-Ocean Crab Classic
Now if you’re concerned that making so many crab stuffed mushroom appetizers will affect your party budget, I used Trans-Ocean Crab Classic, an imitation crab. Now isn’t imitation crab made with wheat? Not Trans-Oceans imitation crab! Since 2014, their imitation crab and lobster products are gluten free and made in a dedicated 100% gluten-free facility. You can read about their journey to gluten free here.
Trans-Ocean makes Crab Classic in various forms (flake, leg, chunk, and shred). Their Crab Classic is made from wild and sustainable Alaska Pollock and certified by the Marine Stewardship Council as a responsibly harvested seafood. It’s fully cooked, ready-to-eat, and terrific for quick and easy salads, appetizers, main dishes, and more.
Personally, I like the taste of imitation crab since it’s sweeter and less fishy than real crab, and doesn’t fall apart in your cooking. Trans-Ocean also makes Lobster Classic! I’m looking forward to coming up with a recipe for lobster mac ‘n’ cheese that’s not only gluten free but affordable for my readers, soon! This Mama’s tips in making Gluten Free Crab Stuffed Mushrooms Appetizers
If you’re concerned about timing, start making Gluten Free Crab Stuffed Mushrooms Appetizers the day before the party! Prepare the mushrooms (the peeling of the outer skin) and vegetable/crab stuffing the day before the party. Then do the mushroom cooking and final stuffing and baking just before the party begins so your appetizers freshly baked from the oven when serving.
If your party is more on the casual side, you can even have your guests help prepare the final bake by spooning the stuffing into the mushroom caps. I’m sure you have a few friends who think they’re Julia Child or Martha Stewart! Or the kids can help. Don’t forget to bring out your extra holiday aprons, for a festive touch!
If you’re looking for a gluten free vegetable bullion powder, I recommend Massel Gluten-Free, Vegetable Flavored All Purpose Bouillon & Seasoning Granules. You can purchase it online if you can’t find it at your grocery store or health food store.
Gluten free panko style bread crumbs can be found at health food stores, natural grocery stores, and online. If you can’t find gluten free panko, you can try gluten free bread crumbs. Make your own from gluten free toast ground up in a blender. Or use gluten free cereal or rice crackers placed in a zip lock baggie and crushed with a rolling pin!
Baking the crab stuffed mushrooms on silicone baking mats makes for easy cleanup! Since I have odd sized baking sheets, I took my Wilton Easy Flex Silicone Baking Mats and cut them to size. Since they’re inexpensive, I didn’t feel bad about “wrecking” them.
To make this dairy free, use a vegan buttery spread and a vegan substitute for Parmesan cheese.
