Sliced Almond, Hemp Hearts and Orange Zest Florentines

So here's an easy and healthy cookie snack inspired by Ottolenghi a restaurant in London but modified by me to reflect the hemp and omega 3 obsessed culture of the Canadian West Coast.

260g of 2/3rds sliced natural almonds and 1/3rd hemp hearts
whites of 2 eggs
100g icing sugar
zest of 2 oranges

Gently mix all these ingredients together while heating the oven to 300 degrees centigrade.

Spoon clumps onto a lightly oiled parchment sheet, flatten down thinly and bake for about 18 minutes till the bases are golden brown.

Rack cool and if you want add some melted dark chocolate. Store in a cookie jar with a padlocked lid otherwise they will disappear faster than you mixed the stuff up.
