- Set the oven to gas mark 4 or 180°C. Put the oil, potatoes and peppers in a roasting tin in the oven and roast for 50 mins. After 20 mins, put the pork in a small roasting tin with the marinade and roast for 30-40 mins, depending on the thickness of the meat.
- Leave the pork to rest for 10 mins on a board. Check the peppers and potatoes, and carry on cooking if you want them to brown more.

Spoon the chilli sauce over the meat and serve with freshly-cooked, shredded Savoy cabbage. (Not suitable for freezing).
