Crab Stuffed Mushrooms

INGREDIENTS:

• 2½ tablespoons  butter, or ghee
• 16 mushrooms, crimini or white button
• ½ small yellow onion, minced
• 1 cup crabmeat, picked through for shells
• 2 tablespoons homemade mayo
• ½ teaspoon lemon juice
• ½ teaspoon dried oregano
• ½ teaspoon sea salt
• ¼ teaspoon dried thyme
• 2 tablespoons almond meal or finely ground flaxseed for sprinkling

INSTRUCTIONS:

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F.
2. Clean the mushrooms and remove the stems. Gently hollow out some of the inside of the mushroom cap then set them aside.
3. Finely chop the stems and set the mushroom caps aside. Alternatively, throw the stems and the onion into a food processor and pulse until finely chopped.
4. Melt 2 tablespoons of ghee in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chopped stems and onions and sauté until soft, about 8 to 10 minutes.
5. Combine the crab, mayonnaise, lemon juice, spices, and salt in a bowl then mix in the sautéed vegetables.
6. Fill each mushroom cap with a heaping tablespoon of the mixture. Sprinkle the tops with the almond meal.
7. Lightly grease a baking dish with the remaining ghee. Place the stuffed caps in the dish and bake for 15-18 minutes, until the filling is hot and the mushrooms are tender and browned.
