INSTRUCTIONS
HERBAL CHOICES: thyme, basil, oregano, parsley, chives. Preheat oven to 350F. Cut a 1/4-inch slice off ends of squash halves to prevent wobbling. Remove seeds. Bake, open side down, on a lightly sprayed baking sheet until soft (40 min.). Cool. Rinse rice. Place in a medium pot with water to cover by 4 inches. Bring to a boil, reduce heat and simmer, uncovered, until tender (1 hour). Add water as needed to keep rice from drying. Drain well. Heat oil in a large non-stick skillet. Add onions, celery, garlic and peppers and cook over medium heat until browned (5 min.). Stir in apple and corn and cook until apple loses rawness (3 minutes). Add rice and herbs and cook for 1 min. Stir in cheese and ground pepper to taste. Spoon rice mixture into a shallow baking dish and nestle squash halves into it, filling each with some rice mixture. Bake at 400F for 10 to 15 minutes.
