In this week’s parsha, Moses and Aaron come before Pharaoh and demand their freedom. Amid signs and wonders, Pharaoh will not acknowledge the sovereignty of any power other than his own. The Torah recounts that “the heart of Pharaoh was hardened and he would not let the children of Israel go.” I love this idea of Pharaoh’s hardened heart, refusing to relent as the entire world around him is turned upside down and inside out. This week we highlight a menu of hearts, (not actual hearts, although you can get those if you make our Yerushalmi, we’re sticking with hearts of palm and heart shaped foods.
The Weekly Challah

If you’re not one to just throw some hearts of palm in a salad, then turn them into fritters. They get nice and flavorful when mixed up and pan fried. The perfect hardened hearts.

This braised meat is a favorite by all lovers of Italian food and it is the perfect Shabbat dinner food, because it doesn’t dry out easily.

These look so yummy
I would actually serve the spinach room temperature, cook it just before Shabbat and leave it out. That is what I do with all the greens I serve.
I had already planned on making braised short ribs, schnitzel, mashed potatoes and some kind of vegetable. Your menu looks so good, now I will add the wilted spinach. Hope it holds up on the blech until we eat.
