50 g raw almonds
50 g raw macadamia nuts
20 g fresh continental parsley
10 g fresh chives
1 tsp nigella seeds optional if you can't source them
1 tsp sesame seeds
1 pinch freshly cracked black pepper
250 g cream cheese cubed, room temperature
100 g mild creamy blue cheese cubed, room temperature (I used castello brand, if you don't like blue cheese you could use any other combination of cheeses like a mild feta, mozzarella or cheddar)
2 gladwrap large pieces

Add nuts and herbs to mixer bowl, chop for 3 sec/speed 6/MC on or until finely chopped.
Add nigella seeds, sesame seeds and pepper to the bowl. Mix for 5 sec/speed 2/MC on.
Remove nut mixture to a piece of the gladwrap retaining 1 Tbsp in the mixer bowl. Flatten the mixture out with your hands into a large rectangle.
Add remaining ingredients and blend for 10 sec/speed 6/MC on. Scrape bowl down and repeat once.
Spoon even amounts of cheese mixture in a line down the centre of the nut mixture. Using the gladwrap, form into a log and twist the ends of each side tightly to remove air and compress mixture. Tie off ends, apply second piece of gladwrap and refrigerate for 1 hour or until ready to serve.

Different combinations you could try:
Apricot & Almond
Smoked Salmon & Dill + Capers
