Put the roast back into the roaster. Cover the roast in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ circulating air: 150 °C/ gas: see manufacturer) and braise for about 2 hours.

    Peel, wash and cut the potatoes into pieces. Cook in boiling salted water for about 20 minutes. Peel and wash carrots and cut them diagonally into slices. Wash parsley, shake dry. Pluck off leaves and chop finely, except for something to garnish. Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a pot and fry the carrots. Season with salt, pepper and sugar.

Bring the stock to the boil once, stir in honey and sour cream. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Mix parsley with the carrots and season again.
