Lovely nutty flavor and a good appearence. If you have any stuffing left over put it in a green pepper and cook it along with the squash, it's quite good cold too

I'm allergic to nuts, so I substituted the walnuts in the filling with sunflower seeds.

I've never had millet before, but I really enjoyed it in this recipe. It has a nutty flavor that pairs well with the squash and quinoa.

This is a great recipe! I made it last night and it was a hit with my family. The squash was cooked perfectly and the filling was delicious. I will definitely be making this again.
