Ingredients

• 1 clove garlic, minced
• 1/4 cup golden raisins
• 2 tablespoons pine nuts
• 4 medium sweet potatoes
• 1 tablespoon pickling spice
• Chopped fresh mint, for topping
• 1 cup plain fat-free Greek yogurt
• Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
• 1/4 cup plus 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
• 8 ounces fresh Mexican chorizo, casings removed

Directions

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees °F. Pierce the sweet potatoes all over with a fork and microwave on a microwave-safe plate until tender, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a small skillet over medium-high heat. 
• Add the pickling spice and cook, stirring, until toasted, about 1 minute. 
• Transfer the spiced oil to a mini food processor and pulse until the pickling spice is finely ground, about 1 minute. 
• Transfer the spiced oil to a medium bowl and stir in the yogurt, garlic, 1 teaspoon salt, and a few grinds of pepper; set aside.
• Soak the raisins in 1/2 cup warm water in a small bowl, for 10 minutes. 
• Meanwhile, heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. 
• Add our Mexican chorizo and cook, stirring and breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned and crisp, 5 to 6 minutes. 
• Stir in the pine nuts and cook, stirring, until lightly toasted, about 30 seconds. Transfer the chorizo mixture to a bowl. Drain the raisins and stir into the chorizo mixture.
• Arrange the sweet potatoes on a foil-lined baking sheet. 
• Drizzle with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil and season with salt and pepper; rub to coat evenly. Roast until the potato skins are crisp, about 10 minutes. 
• Split open the sweet potatoes and fluff the flesh with a fork; season with salt and pepper. Top with the chorizo, yogurt sauce, and mint.
