Giveaway - Redpack Tomato Gift Set

I am SO excited about this giveaway. I've been a fan of Redpack Tomatoes for years, ever since hearing a rumor that one of my favorite restaurants uses them on their tomato pies. When they go on sale at my supermarket I buy them by the case.


This gift set is pretty amazing. For starters, everything comes in a large tin shaped like a can of Redpack tomatoes. When you open it up you see a pool of red confetti packing material made to simulate a can full of sauce. As you dig through you'll find two cans of tomatoes, a can opener, a mini spatula, a pasta server, a pizza cutter and Redpack magnets.

Redpack will ship an identical gift set to the winner of this giveaway. Pretty sweet, huh?

To enter the giveaway: leave a comment on this post telling me your favorite recipe using canned tomatoes. Please include the link to a blog post if you have one to share.

For a second entry: leave another comment on this post telling me which canned tomato product you use most often when cooking - whole, diced, crushed, stewed, tomato sauce, tomato paste or tomato puree.

The Rules: Maximum of two entries per person, U.S. residents only. Each question should be answered in a separate post for you to receive credit for each entry. Commenting will close on Friday, March 11, at 4:00 pm, EST. Entries that do not follow the entry requirements will not be considered. One winner will be chosen at random and announced next week. The winner must be willing to provide a mailing address. Good luck!

  18. My favorite recipe using canned tomatoes would almost by default have to be my marinara I make with my meatballs or chicken parm. I always used canned crushed for that. You can find it here:

    For most often, though, it's probably a tie between crushed and sauce, since I so often use sauce for Indian dishes or my Spanish rice.

  34. canned tomato "recipe" is one i've made up:

    saute chopped onions in garlic and olive oil until translucent, add canned artichokes, add bag of thawed frozen California style veggies (broccoli, cauliflower and carrots), add peeled/deveined shrimp and a can of diced seasoned tomatoes (basil, oregano and garlic). Add some italian seasoning, mix well, and simmer until shrimp is cooked.

    Toss with cheese tortellini - grate a little fresh parm over it and serve!
