Loved this recipe, definitely soak the mushrooms, just make sure you drain them well first, open side down on paper towel. I added a few drops of tabasco and halved the recipe. Used green onion instead and didn't use celery.

Very good...I didnt soak the mushrooms. Rinse and pat dry then put just the caps (unstuffed) in the casserole dish with a few pats of margarine. Put the dish in the preheated oven just til the butter melts and then toss the caps in it. This keeps them moist and flavorful. I had no celery, so I used scallion and added some minced jarred roasted red pepper (pimiento). Yum!!!

The recipe as written is pretty bland. Regarding the soaking - I tried it soaking the mushrooms and not soaking the mushrooms and both ways were watery but soaking them was more flavorful. These are the changes I made: increase bread crumbs to 4 Tbsp, increase salt to 3/8 tsp., increase crab meant to 8oz, add 1/4 tsp parsley, add 1/2 cup parmesan cheese. When soaking the mushrooms I drizzled LIME juice on them because that is all I had and only rinsed them off with hot water, didn't really soak them. The texture and taste was much better with the lime soak/rinse. The extra breadcrumbs really soaked up the water and the extra salt let all the flavors really come out. Also, be sure to blend the ingredients as the recipe states, don't just chop them up. I HATE celery but you can't even taste it since all the ingredients are blended together.

I love stuffed mushrooms and thought this recipe was quite good, however, next time I won't soak the mushrooms first as it made them kind of soggy.

Cut the recipe. I used imitation crab and the flavor just wasn't there. Next time I'd use real crab..and up teh spice a bit more.

Ok I liked this recipe, but only gave 4 stars because you should NEVER soak mushrooms. All that does is add more moisture to them....and makes them soggy. They were a little dry, but the flavor is nice. I will probably add to my recipe file...and make again. Thanks for the post.
