The flavors in this dish were out of this world. I loved the sweetness with the savory from the salt and pepper and other veggies. It was a great side dish!

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!!!
