This is an OUTSTANDINGLY flavorful side dish & a great way to get some people to eat sweet potatoes! I did dice the veggies a bit smaller then called for, & chopped the raisins as well [forget trying to cut each of those suckers in half!] & I was very satisfied with the results! Thanks much for this great recipe!
