Large mushroom caps filled with a savory and flavorful mixture of black beans, walnuts, and herbs, then baked to perfection and drizzled with a tangy balsamic glaze. A delightful vegetarian snack or appetizer.
Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Lightly grease a baking sheet.
Remove stems from the mushroom caps and set aside. (Optional: Chop the stems and sauté them with the onions and garlic for extra flavor).
In a large mixing bowl, mash the black beans slightly with a fork. Add the chopped walnuts, onion, garlic, parsley, thyme, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine.
Drizzle the mushroom caps with olive oil and season with salt and pepper.
Spoon the black bean mixture into each mushroom cap, pressing down gently to pack it in.
Place the stuffed mushrooms on the prepared baking sheet and bake for 25-30 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender and the filling is heated through.
Remove from oven and drizzle with balsamic glaze before serving.

For a richer flavor, sauté the chopped mushroom stems, onion, and garlic in a skillet with olive oil before adding them to the black bean mixture.
Add a pinch of red pepper flakes to the filling for a little heat.
To make a quick balsamic glaze, simmer balsamic vinegar in a saucepan over low heat until it reduces and thickens.
Grated Parmesan cheese can be added to the filling or sprinkled on top before baking for a non-vegan option.
