The kind we eat is an Oklahoma made product and it's brand name is Taboli.
The mix I buy is made in Bristow Oklahoma and is sold in the produce section of every local grocery store.
But whatever you call it, it is a really nice salad. I like the already-flavored mix in a bag. It soaks in water, oil and I add a little lemon juice to soften. Then I add a chopped cucumber and onion and a couple of tomatoes.
Bishop Taboli also sells plain cracked wheat and you can your own seasonings.
Most every Oklahoma potluck meal includes a bowl of Taboli. I like to make a bowl of it and keep in the fridge. It goes great with sandwiches and as a salad with dinner.
The ingredients
the finished TaboliHave you ever had Taboli? and if so, what is called where you live?
I have never heard of this much less had it, but it sure does sound yummy!
ReplyDeleteWhen I was lived in Florida, they used to sell it at the grocery deli. I don't remember ever really eating it though. I think it was called Tabbouleh there.
ReplyDeleteI live in NC, and have had it with my Egyptian friends. We have a new Lebanese restaurant in town and they also serve a different version. Yummy!
ReplyDeleteWhere in town do you get the tabouli cracked wheat? I love tabouli, so I guess I spell it tabouli and I am from Oklahoma. So, I guess I will have to pay attention when I order somewhere to see how they spell it.
ReplyDeleteThis is Nina's old co-worker by the way I guess I should have left my name!

Hi Kyla
ReplyDeletenice to hear from you!
I get it at Walmart, the one on Perkins road, it is in produce section and I think it was near the end of an aisle near the bakery, maybe on the other side of the tomatoes.
Hope this helps - and it is spelled taboli on the bag,
Hi Rhonda,
ReplyDeleteHere in the Chicago area, it's either tabouleh or tabouli. We get the authentic stuff from a middle-eastern restaurant here. Has fresh parsley in it & is so good. I've also made it at home using bulgur, etc. (Not a mix.)
I haven't made this in a long time, but I love it. I occasionally pick some up at the grocery deli, as my husband won't eat it.

This sounds like a great recipe! I love taboli although I don't get to eat it very much.
