Shabbat Menu - Olive Oil

To light the eternal flame, the children of Israel are commanded to bring pure oil of olives crushed for lighting.  I use olive oil in most everything. The diversity of flavors – from herbal to earthy can bring out the best of breads, salads, vegetables, fish, poultry and even steaks.  Heart healthy and a staple of the Mediterranean diet, olive oil is a precious part of our Biblical tradition and our culinary heritage.  This week we are highlighting a menu that shows many ways to use the amazing olive and its flavorful oil.
