Crabmeat Berdou
- Sauce (bechamel):
- 4 oz. butter
- 1/4 cup flour
- 1 pint milk
- 1/2 tsp. salt
- 1 stick butter
- 1/2 cup green onions, chopped
- 1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
- 1 Tbs. chopped garlic
- 1/2 cup sherry
- 1 lb. lump crabmeat
- 1. Make a bechamel by heating the butter in a saucepan until it bubbles. Stir in the flour until well blended. Then whisk in the milk over low heat until the sauce thickens. Add the salt and keep warm.
- 2. In a second saucepan, heat the butter until it bubbles, and in it saute the green onions, mushrooms, and garlic until the mushrooms are tender. Add the sherry and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and cook until all the liquid is absorbed.
- 3. Carefully add the lump crabmeat, agitating the pan to combine with the rest of the ingredients so as not to break the lumps. Spoon the mixture onto a small serving dish.
- 4. Nap two tablespoons of the bechamel over the top of the crabmeat and serve.
- Serves four.
