CRAB MEAT AU GRATIN


1/4 cup unsalted butter, (1/2 stick) divided, half softened
1/4 cup chopped green onions
1 small clove garlic, minced
1/4 pound mushroom, sliced
1 teaspoon chopped cilantro
1/4 teaspoon white pepper
2 3/4 cups whipping cream
1 tablespoon flour
1 pound cooked crab meat, (lobster delights)
1/2 cup shredded Jack Cheese
2 tablespoons Parmesan

Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a saucepan over medium heat.
Stir in the green onion and cook 1 minute. Add the garlic, mushrooms and cilantro.
Cook stirring often, 5 minutes. Stir in the pepper and the whipping cream.
Combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of butter with the flour in a small bowl until
smooth. Stir it into the whipped cream mixture and simmer over medium heat until
thickened, 5 minutes. Stir the crab meat into the saucepan. Cook stirring occasionally,
until the crab is heated through, about 8 minutes.
Heat the broiler. Transfer the crab mixture to a 1 quart casserole of 6 ramekins.
Sprinkle the top with the Jack and Parmesan. Please 4 inches beneath the broiler
to lightly brown, 2 to 3 minutes: watch them carefully. Serve immediately.
