Preparation

Step 1

Place nuts in bowl, cover with water and refrigerate 6 hours or overnight. Drain water from nuts and put nuts in food processor with lemon juice, 3 Tbsp olive oil, garlic, salt and ¼ cup water. Blend until smooth and creamy. Add nutritional yeast and reblend. Chop parsley, rosemary and thyme and combine with pepper in a bowl.

Option 1: Place in saran wrap to help you “mold” into ball shape. Carefully unwrap cheese ball and coat with chopped nuts and herb mixture. Place into dehydrator and warm until ball begins to crack. Transfer to platter and drizzle with remaining olive oil.

Option 2: Place the cheese mixture in a 9x13 pan and spread across bottom of pan. Top cheese with chopped nuts and herb mixture. Place into dehydrator and warm.
