Steps:
- Preheat the oven 190c/375F/Gas5.

- Chop the parley and put to one side.
- Cut the stalk off the top of the chillies. Snap them in half and put those to one side too.

POT ROAST IN SWEET AND SOUR SAUCE
Prep time includes browning the roast, this is started on top of the stove then finished cooking in the oven --- the exact amounts really do not matter for this recipe I just eyeball all ingredients, start with 1/3 cup brown sugar and add in more if needed while cooking, when I make this I find that for my taste I need more than 1/3 cup --- the cayenne was left as optional if you like some heat then add it in and adjust to taste or you may used crushed chili flakes, there is tons of sauce to this so there is no need to double the amounts --- cooking time is only estimated it will depend on the size of your roast, this will also work well using a pork roast.
