🌿 TKC Chimichurri Chubby by Toad’s Kitchen Cupboard brings the bold, herb-packed flavours of traditional South American chimichurri straight to your BBQ, kitchen and dinner table. Packed with parsley, oregano, garlic, onion and capsicum flakes, this chunky dry blend makes it incredibly easy to whip up fresh chimichurri sauce for steaks, lamb, chicken, seafood, vegetables and more.
Designed as a convenient make-at-home chimichurri mix, all you need is olive oil, red wine vinegar and fresh herbs to create a vibrant sauce loaded with fresh herb flavour, garlic richness and tangy acidity. Whether you are spooning it over sliced steak, using it as a marinade, brushing it onto meat over charcoal or serving it alongside roast vegetables, this blend delivers the kind of fresh, punchy flavour that instantly lifts BBQ food.
This is one of those seasonings that quickly becomes addictive once you start using it. It works brilliantly on grilled meats, but it is just as good spread over sliced tomatoes, fresh bread, cheese platters or drizzled onto roasted vegetables. Once you make a batch, it rarely lasts long.
