and saute 1 to 2 minutes, until mushrooms appear moist. Stir in green
onions, wild rice, 1/3 cup nuts and parsley. Season with pepper and salt to
taste. Cool somewhat.
Spoon stuffing mixture into squash halves and press with back of spoon to
fill cavity completely. Arrange in alightly greased baking dish. Sprinkle
reserved nuts on top. Cover and bake at 350 degrees about 30 minutes, until

shelled nuts in a preheated 325-degree oven for about 10 minutes, then wrap
them in a kitchen towel and rub off as much of the skins as possible.
