Instructions:

Preheat Oven: Begin by preheating your oven to 350°F (175°C).

Prepare Sauerkraut: Drain the juices from the sauerkraut, and reserve them. Replace the sauerkraut juice with the juice from the can of pineapple.
-
-
Simmer Sauerkraut: In a saucepan, gently simmer the sauerkraut in pineapple juice over medium heat for about 15 minutes, stirring occasionally.
-
Prepare Onion Mixture: In a separate pan, melt some butter over medium heat. Add finely chopped onion and minced garlic, and sauté until soft and translucent. Then, add the curry powder and fresh chili pepper (if using), and cook for another minute or two.
-
Mix Ingredients: Drain any excess liquid from the sauerkraut mixture and combine it with the onion mixture. Add in the pineapple chunks and diced bell peppers, mixing everything well.
-
Assemble Ham Rolls: Take small portions of the sauerkraut mixture and place them onto the ham slices. Roll up the ham slices to enclose the filling.
-
Prepare Baking Dish: Grease an ovenproof dish with butter. Spread the remaining sauerkraut mixture evenly on the bottom of the dish. Sprinkle a quarter of the Gruyere cheese on top of the sauerkraut layer.
-
Layer Ham Rolls: Arrange the prepared ham rolls on top of the sauerkraut mixture in the baking dish.
-
Prepare Topping: In a small bowl, mix together the remaining grated Gruyere cheese with breadcrumbs. Sprinkle this mixture over the ham rolls, and add small flecks of butter on top.
-
Bake: Place the assembled dish in the preheated oven and bake for 30 to 40 minutes, or until the cheese is melted and golden brown.
