Add the iguana meat to the skillet, season with salt and black pepper, and brown on all sides.

Once browned, sprinkle brown sugar over the iguana and stir to coat.

Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to low, allowing the iguana to cook for 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.

In a separate pan, heat a small amount of olive oil and add the cooked snails, sautéing for about 5 minutes.

Once the iguana is tender, mix in the sautéed snails and chopped parsley.

Serve hot, garnished with additional parsley if desired.
