Almond Feta Cheese
1 cup raw almonds, soaked & skins removed
1/4 cup lemon juice
1 clove garlic
1 tsp sea salt
1/4 cup olive oil
1 Tbs fresh thyme
1 Tbs fresh rosemary
Soak almonds in water overnight. Peel almond skins off of almonds by squeezing almonds in between fingers. Puree peeled almonds, lemon juice, 3 T olive oil, garlic, salt and 1/2 cup water in blender or food processor for 5 minutes or until really creamy. Place a triple layer of cheesecloth in strainer and spoon almond mixture onto cheesecloth (or place in a nut milk bag). Bring sides together twist into an orange-sized ball and secure with a twist tie. Chill for several hours. Take out of cheese cloth & form into a 6” round of cheese, about 3/4 inch thick & place on plate (or you can dehydrate it for 4-6 hours to harden it up). Combine 1-2 Tbs olive oil with herbs & drizzle over your cheese ball. Serve with veggies, crackers or cut up for on top of salad.
YUMMMMM!
