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.
The best way to introduce olives and olive oil in one dish is by adding them both to your challah. This challah recipe is so flavorful and delicious with the extra addition of Za’atar.
This totally creamy and comforting Winter soup is topped with a drizzle of homemade black olive oil.

Are you or did you cook all of this? Tell us when to come over, these recipes look fantastic! Our mouths are watering! Thank you so much!
i want to make that zaatar and olive challah this shabbat!
What a beautiful looking menu! It all looks amazing but I have to admit I am partial to the olive oil mousse. I love the way olive oil and chocolate work together.
This is an outstanding menu Tamar. So festive and yet not fussy. I actually made zatar and olive challah this morning! Everything looks so absolutely gorgeous and festive looking, fit for a wedding. Love the look of the green beans. I will make this recipe (though I can’t use walnuts, will use almonds or cashews instead) and the chicken breasts are a must. Just a lovely lovely menu.
If that is your menu, can I come for the meal?
