Snow Crab Packets with Wild Mushrooms

Ingredients:

• 1 cup fresh mushrooms of your choice
• 2 French shallots
• 1 tsp (5 ml) butter
• 1 tsp (5 ml) olive oil
• ½ cup (125 ml) white wine
• Salt and pepper to taste
• ¼ cup (60 ml) fresh herbs, chopped (chervil, dill or tarragon)
• ½ cup (125 ml) garlic croutons, crushed
• ½ lb (227 g) crabmeat
• 8 thin crepes

Method:

1. Use sharp knife to cut mushrooms into thin slices. Mince shallots.
2. Add butter and oil to heated pan. Toss in mushrooms and shallots when butter is hot. Sweat for 2 to 3 minutes (mushrooms should brown as little as possible).
3. Add white wine to deglaze pan and simmer until liquid has evaporated. Season with salt and pepper.
4. Add fresh herbs and crushed garlic croutons. Stir until evenly combined.
5. Spoon 1 tbsp of mushroom filling into each crepe. Place crabmeat on top of mushroom filling. Fold edges of crepe over filling and turn packet over so opening is on bottom.
6. Heat packets in oven and place two on each plate. Serve with small salad topped with honey or maple syrup dressing.
