Time 20m

Yield Four to six servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 large onion, peeled and cut into 1/2-inch dice, about 1 cup
2 medium green bell peppers, seeded, deribbed and cut into 1/2-inch dice, about 1 1/2 cups
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
1 tablespoon curry powder
1 teaspoon black mustard seeds
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1/2 cup apple juice or canned pineapple juice
1 tablespoon lemon juice
1 1/2 pounds baked ham, cut into 3/4-inch chunks
12 ounces fresh pineapple, peeled and cored (or canned in juice, unsweetened), cut into 1-inch chunks (about 2 cups)
1/2 cup chopped coriander (optional)

Steps:

  • Combine the onion, peppers, garlic, oil, curry powder and mustard seeds in a two-and-one-half-quart souffle dish or casserole. Cover tightly with microwave-safe plastic wrap. Cook at 100 percent power in a 650- to 700-watt oven for eight minutes, stirring once halfway through the cooking time. Prick the plastic to release the steam.
  • Remove from the oven and uncover. In a small bowl, combine the cornstarch, apple or pineapple juice and lemon juice. Stir into the vegetables and spices. Add the ham and pineapple chunks. Cover with microwave-safe plastic wrap. Cook at 100 percent power for seven minutes. Prick the plastic to release the steam.
  • Remove from the oven and uncover. Stir in the coriander, if desired, and serve.

I made this dish last night and it was a hit! My family loved the sweet and savory flavors. The only thing I would change is to add a bit more spice.

This dish was absolutely delightful! The combination of ham and pineapple was perfect, and the curry sauce was rich and flavorful. I will definitely be making this again.
