Ingredients:

1/2 CUP EXTRA VIRGIN OLIVE OIL
1 LARGE YELLOW ONION (Chopped)
3 STALKS CELERY (Chopped)
1 TBSP FRESH GARLIC (Minced)

3 LARGE EGGS (Beaten)
1/4 BUNCH FRESH PARSLEY (Chopped)
3/4 CUP GRATED ROMANO CHEESE

Method
In a large skillet and over medium heat add olive oil, onions and celery; sauté until onions turn clear (about 5- 7 minutes). Add garlic, wine and all of the seasonings, simmer until the sauce reduces by one third.

Remove from heat, gently fold in the crabmeat and remaining ingredients; stuffing should be used immediately or refrigerated.

Plate Presentation
Spoon stuffing into crab shells or in a buttered baking dish. Garnish with thin lemon slices.

Chef's Notes:
I like to use claw meat in this recipe, it is sweeter that lump white meat and about one half the price.
This is a crab meat stuffing recipe not a bread crumb recipe, too many stuffings are all bread and little crab.

Use a large cast iron skillet for this recipe.
