In a medium bowl add all ingredients and stir until smooth. Taste and add extra seasoning and chili flakes if desired. Refrigerate mixture until firm – approximately 1 hour. Remove from refrigerator and shape into a ball. Roll ball in sliced hazelnuts or chopped parsley. Alternatively roll into 1” balls and roll in a variety of garnishes (poppy seeds, black pepper, chopped mixed herbs or nuts) and served as a cocktail size appetizer.

Makes approximately 10 -12 servings
