1. Preheat the oven to 170°C,and place the hazelnuts on a baking tray.Even if you have toasted hazelnuts,proceed to toast them a little more so that they release all their oil.Bake for 10-15 minutes.
2. Remove from oven and let cool until room temperature.
3. Then,in the glass of the thermomix add the measure of sugar to pulverize along with the vanilla(use only the vanilla pulp,you get it by scraping the inside of the pod),program.

9. The texture that should be obtained will be somewhat greasy sawdust,not a homogeneous mixture,since if it is crushed too much,a very soft paste will remain and the result of the nougat will not be compact.
10. Before pouring the mixture into the wooden box to make nougat,place the baking paper on the entire surface of the box.Pour the mixture,from time to time hitting the surface a few times so that the mixture spreads well and with the help of a spoon or spatula,smooth it out.
11. Make sure that all the nougat is covered with the paper and that it is snug and tight inside the box when you put the lid on it.
12. Reserve in the refrigerator by placing a heavy object on top of it,the ideal is to leave it at rest from one day to the next.
