Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 400°F with a baking tray inside.
  • In a small saucepan over medium heat, heat the olive oil. Add the onions, mushroom stems and garlic, and cook for 5 minutes or until fragrant and slightly reduced. Add the walnuts and thyme, and cook for 1 minute to toast the walnuts lightly. Remove from heat and set aside.
  • In a small bowl, combine the chickpeas, ¼ cup of parmesan, parsley, balsamic vinegar, salt and pepper and use a fork to combine and mash to form a paste-like texture. Transfer the walnut mixture on top of the chickpea mixture and stir to combine.
  • Carefully place the mushrooms on the hot tray and spray with cooking spray. Spoon the filling into the mushrooms, and top with the remaining parmesan cheese.
  • Bake the preheated oven until the mushrooms are cooked through and the cheese has melted, about 15 minutes. Serve warm.

Notes

Storage: Store any leftovers in an airtight container. They will last up to 4 days in the fridge. To reheat, place in the microwave for a 30 seconds or in the oven at 350°F for 5 minutes.
Make ahead: You can stuff the mushrooms up to 24 hours ahead of time and keep them covered in the fridge.
Freezer Instructions: Stuff the mushrooms and then freeze them unbaked on a tray. Once frozen, transfer them to freezer bags and they will keep for up to 3 months.
Substitutions: For best results, follow the recipe as is. However here are some common substitutes that would work well in this recipe.
  • Instead of walnuts, you can use any other nuts.
  • Instead of chickpeas, you can substitute other legumes like white beans.
  • Make them vegan by omitting or substituting the parmesan.
