Preparation
- Step 1
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.

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.
- Step 3
Remove from the oven and uncover. Stir in the coriander, if desired, and serve.
Cook the vegetables and spices in a 400- to 500-watt oven for 12 minutes, stirring once halfway through the cooking time. Proceed with the recipe as above. After adding the ham and pineapple, cook for another 12 minutes. Finish the recipe as above.

Agree with others that this recipe is a keeper. Great beginnings that you can tweak for whatever end result you want. I made Wellingtons with it. Next time making extra sauce and serving with jasmine rice.
Good jumping off point. Used frying pan instead of microwave, added some hot sauce and peas, increased the sauce and ham and added a couple of spoons of yoghurt.
Nice recipe for leftover ham. I used the stovetop.
