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!

Lovely, tasty casserole. served up with baked kingfish and crusty roll, made me want to visit the Caribbean again. Thank you chef for your intelligent use of fresh ingredients worthy of the RSC#8 focus. Brilliant design, yet simple to prepare. Although your recipe states Serves 4 and you are probably right in so stating; but we were 2 and we ate it all, because of the goodness and flavour. Thank you so much Chef, for sharing your talent. Five thumbs up!!!

I had a terrible time getting ingredients together for this recipe. The mangoes I had saved for this recipe were bad. I purchased replacements and they went from green to mush in 2 days. I finally subbed fresh pineapple and pineapple juice in order to get the recipe made. We loved the flavor! It was sweet, but the savory elements saved it in my eyes. The addition of the onions & peppers contrasted nicely with the sweet in the rest of the dish and I loved the addition of nutmeg. Terrific use of contest ingredients and a recipe I will use again. Good luck in the contest!

We enjoyed this dish, but I was a little confused over the amount and kind of sugar I was to use. You listed white sugar in the ingredient list and brown in the steps. I am not sure if both kinds were to be in this recipe or not. I used the brown sugar (1/2 C). After eating a few bites of the cooked recipe I sprinkled some more over the top and liked it better. I cannot give a 5-star because I am unclear exactly how much sugar (and kind) you meant to have used and feel like that would definitely make a difference in the flavor.

I love the different flavours of sweet potatoes, mangos, bell peppers and onions. The sauce is absolutely delicious. I have followed the recipe, except that I have chopped all in 1-inch pieces (I think 2-inches are too big). And the bake needed 15 minutes longer, but that might be caused by the sweet potato I have used. This bake goes well together with crusty white bread and chicken would great too. But I think also fish and pork would be good with this dish. The sweet notes are dominant, so it needs some contrasting moments (e.g. chilis). If you add some cinnamon or vanilla and bay leaf it would be also a fantastic dessert. I really like the combination of these flavours and you can vary the recipe in many ways. I reviewed this dish for RSC#8: taste = 5 stars, directions = 4 stars.

What a Polynisian/Hawaiian flair this has. Yum! It reminds me of a sweet and sour dish and with that gelationus sause (at least it was when hot!) it would be GREAT served over some brown rice. Really lovely flavor. Next time I would add pineapples...or sub that for the mangos. We didn't add the rasins. I didn't have any and don't like them, usually. I also used half a cup of fresh squeezed orange juice and the other apple juice (didn't have enough oranges on hand). That, too, was quite fine. Really lovely. Certainly a delicious sweet and sour meal to have over rice, or as an interesting and tangy side. I made it a day in advance, so I'll be interested to see how it keeps and reheats when it's time for the meal. Also serving with an Ethiopian Honey Bread, but Hawaiian bread would also compliment quite nicely. Would also go well with mead, beer, or wine.

I hate giving bad reviews, however, this recipe just didn't work for me. I guess this is because of a cultural difference, as we usually like our side dishes to be just savoury (I have to admit that there is one traditional Swiss dish served with applesauce as a side) without the added sweetness of sugar. I cooked this dish and BF served it on dark blue plates, which was a mistake, as I didn't like how the sauce looked on the dark background. We finally decided not to have seconds and not keep the leftovers. I also found the instructions not very clear. Although it says 2-inch pieces, I wasn't quite sure how to cut the vegetables, as only this one measurement is given. As you can see, this dish just didn't work for BF and me, but I guess it does work for many many others - it wouldn't have made it into the final otherwise. I wish you more luck with the other reviewers.

Yummy! The only change I made was to halve the sugar (the mangoes were so sweet and flavoursome!) and I think I could have actually left it out. I used brown sugar. Congratulations on creating a wonderfully flavoursome recipe!

This is a delightful combination of fruit and veggies. I used the mango juice and seemed to have omitted the butter. The vinegar was a white wine vinegar other than that is was made as directed. Served this with grilled salmon and steamed brocolli. Good luck in RSC!

Colorful full of flavor all in one vegetable casserole. I was a little shy on the mango The one that I bought was dark in the center so I added some extra raisins. They tasted great. I used Orange juice. The flavor combination is wonderful. This a winner in my books- hope you do well in the contest

This is a very attractive side dish and the average vote of the table was a Four. Some of the testers felt that the raisins were out of place. If I were to make it again I would add more of the spices for flavor. I added the diced butter that is listed to the top before putting it in the oven. Thanks Chef, and Good Luck!!!!!
