About

Tomatoes in Chile are large and plump and, like so much of the amazing fresh fruit and vegetables grown throughout the country, are always full of delicious flavour. Adding almonds to the tomatoes and chicken makes this warm, hearty, winter dish go a little further, served with rice and a green salad.
