Recipe of Tomatican with rice and French fries

Vida Recetas Editorial

Tomaticán is a traditional Chilean stew that combines the sweetness of tomatoes with the juiciness of meat, and in this version it is served with rice and French fries, creating a complete and comforting dish. Originally from central Chile, this dish is perfect for a family lunch, as it is easy to prepare and very nutritious. In this recipe, the meat is slowly cooked with spices such as garlic, cumin, and salt, until it is tender and full of flavor. Then, corn and a homemade tomato sauce with cherry tomatoes, basil, and garlic are added, giving it a fresh and aromatic touch. The rice, prepared in the Arabic style with toasted noodles and curry, adds a crunchy texture and an exotic flavor, while the cubed French fries provide the final touch. This dish is ideal for those looking for a tasty, economical meal that feeds the whole family. Additionally, the tomato sauce can be prepared in advance and stored in the refrigerator for up to two weeks, making preparation easier on busy days.
