A classic in my house during the summer, the Chilean Tomatican. And sometimes in winter also with frozen corn and can tomatoes. Always served with boiled potatoes or white rice, or both as my grandfather used to like it.
The potatoes (in the photo) are new potatoes, wash them thoroughly and cook in the microwave with a splash of water, 5-8 minutes in maximum power, then let them rest for 5 minutes and crush with a fork.
