Ingredients:

Serving

7 cups water
2 cups wild rice (about 12 oz)
3 small acorn squash (each about 10 to 12 oz), cut in half, seeded
2 tbsp (1/4 stick) butter
2 cups finely chopped onions
2 tsp crumbled dried sage leaves
2 tbsp fresh lemon juice
1/2 cup plus 3 tbsp dried cranberries (about 3 1/2 oz)
1/2 cup plus 3 tbsp chopped toasted hazelnuts (about 3 oz)
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley

Directions:

Bring 7 cups water and rice to boil in heavy large saucepan. Reduce heat; cover and simmer until rice is tender, about 1 hour. Drain. Transfer rice to large bowl.
Preheat oven to 375°F. Oil baking sheet. Place squash, cut side down, on sheet. Bake until tender, about 40 minutes. Cool. Using spoon, scoop out pulp from squash, leaving 1/4-inch-thick shell; reserve shells. Transfer pulp to medium bowl. Reduce oven temperature to 350°F.
Melt butter in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add onions; sauté until very tender, about 15 minutes. Add sage; stir 2 minutes. Add rice, squash pulp and lemon juice; stir until mixed, breaking up squash pulp into smaller pieces. Mix in 1/2 cup cranberries, 1/2 cup hazelnuts and parsley. Season with salt and pepper.
Divide rice mixture among reserved squash shells. Place in roasting pan. (Can be made 6 hours ahead. Cover and chill.)
Bake squash until filling is heated through, about 25 minutes. Sprinkle with remaining 3 tablespoons cranberries and 3 tablespoons hazelnuts.
