Steps:
- In a medium pan, toast almonds over medium heat. Remove from pan and add 1/2 inch water. Bring water to a boil, add beans and cover pan. Reduce heat. Cook beans 4 or 5 minutes until just tender yet still green. Drain beans and return pan to stovetop. Melt butter over moderate heat.

Transfer green beans to dinner plates or serving plate and top with almonds.

Steps:
- 1. Place the cashews in a bowl of boiling water and leave to rest for 1 hour.
- 2. Preheat the oven to 170C/340F.
- 3. Place the ground almonds and coconut sugar in a large bowl and mix well. Add in the maple syrup and melted coconut oil and stir until a dough is formed. You should be able to roll the mixture into a ball, if you find the mixture too dry or crumbly add a little bit more coconut oil.
- 4. Line a baking tray with parchment paper and place the dough inside it, pressing it firmly until you have an even layer spread across the bottom of the tray (We used a small glass to roll it out evenly).
- 5. Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until it starts to brown, then remove from the oven and set aside to cool slightly.
- 6. Drain the water from the cashews and place in a blender with the coconut cream (the hardened cream from the top of a can of coconut milk), honey, lemon zest, lemon juice and arrowroot starch. Pulse until fully combined. Taste the mixture, it should taste really creamy and with a tangy lemon flavour. If you need to add more lemon juice, add it now.
- 7. Place the mixture on top of the almond base and put back in the oven for a further 15 minutes.
- 8. Leave out to cool for 15 minutes, then refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.
- 9. Top with lemon slices, chopped nuts, pumpkin seeds and lemon zest to serve.
CREAMY LEMON ALMOND PASTRIES
I love lemon filled doughnuts when I can find them. This recipe brings the concept to a new level by placing the filling into a baked beignet and enhancing it with a bit of almond flavoring and toasted almonds. The result? Sunshine in a bite. -Arlene Erlbach, Morton Grove, Illinois

LEMON & ALMOND SLICES
These gluten free slices of zesty lemon goodness really are hard to resist. They're light, tangy and the perfect accompaniment to a nice cup of tea. To make the lemon topping you'll need to use a brand of coconut milk that doesn't contain emulsifiers (guar gum, carrageenan, methyl cellulose, corn starch, sodium or potassium metabisulfate) as these are chemical additives which cause the fatty and watery layers to stop separating from one another, so you won't be able to achieve the thick creamy consistency required. Optional toppings: lemon slices, chopped nuts, pumpkin seeds, lemon zest

Tips:
- Use fresh lemons: Fresh lemons provide the best flavor and aroma for these slices. If you don't have fresh lemons on hand, you can use bottled lemon juice, but the flavor will be less intense.
- Don't overmix the batter: Overmixing the batter will make the slices tough. Mix the batter just until the ingredients are combined.
- Chill the dough before baking: Chilling the dough before baking will help the slices hold their shape. You can chill the dough for up to 1 hour before baking.
- Bake the slices until they are golden brown: The slices are done baking when they are golden brown around the edges. If you insert a toothpick into the center of a slice, it should come out clean.
- Let the slices cool completely before glazing: Allow the slices to cool completely before glazing them. This will help the glaze set properly.
- Store the slices in an airtight container: Store the glazed slices in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
