- Place squash halves cut side down onto a plate. Cook the squash in a microwave oven for 5 minutes on High, until tender but firm.
- In a medium frying pan over medium heat, cook sausagemeat until evenly browned; drain and set aside.
- In a large bowl, mix together the prepared rice, sausagemeat, apple and coriander seeds. Stuff each squash half with the mixture.
