- Place a bowl on mixing bowl lid and weigh in brazil nuts. Remove bowl, cover nuts with cold water and place in the fridge for at least 6 hours, or overnight.
- Preheat oven to 160°C. Line a baking tray with an oven mat or baking paper and set aside.
- Place thyme, parsley and black pepper in mixing bowl and chop 3 sec/speed 7. Transfer into a bowl and set aside.
- Drain nuts through simmering basket and rinse well with cold water.
- Place nuts into mixing bowl and chop 20 sec/speed 6. Scrape down sides of mixing bowl with spatula.
- Add garlic, lemon juice, water, olive oil and salt. Blend 30sec/speed 6. Scrape down sides of mixing bowl with spatula. Repeat the blending step 5 or 6 times until mixture is smooth.
- Place a muslin or nut milk bag inside simmering basket over a bowl. Scrape mixture into muslin/nut milk bag and twist around the mixture to form a large ball. Squeeze hard to remove as much liquid as possible.
- Place chopped herbs on a plate. Unwrap the ball and roll it in the herbs to coat. Place on baking tray and bake for 30 minutes. Remove and leave to cool.
- Transfer 'not-cheese' ball to a platter and drizzle with olive oil to serve.
Tip
Use the liquid squeezed out of the ball as a salad dressing or a sauce for steamed vegetables.
If you don't have a muslin or nut milk bag you can use a clean tea towel.

Recipe is created forTM 6
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl. -

If you are using a Thermomix® TM6 measuring cup with your Thermomix® TM5:
For cooking (simmering) at temperatures of 95°C or above (200°F), the simmering basket should always be used instead of the TM6 measuring cup, as the TM6 measuring cup fits tightly in the lid. The simmering basket rests loosely on top, is steam-permeable, and also prevents food spatter from the mixing bowl.Please note that the TM5 mixing bowl has a larger capacity than the TM31 (capacity of 2.2 liters instead of 2.0 liters for TM 31). Recipes for the Thermomix TM5 may not be cooked with a Thermomix TM31 for safety reasons without adjusting the quantities. Risk of scalding by spraying of hot liquids: Do not exceed the maximum filling quantity and observe the filling level markings of the mixing bowl!
