1/3 cup peanut oil
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon soy lecithin
pinch of salt
2 cups all-purpose wheat flour

1 lb steamed spinach (or 10 oz frozen, steamed)
4 oz shitake mushrooms, chopped
1 onion, diced
1/4 cup oil, plus a little extra sautéing

1 lb. tofu
1/4 cup nutritional yeast
1/2 cup water (or as needed)
Directions:Crust:
Preheat oven to 400 F. Mix first 4 ingredients in a small bowl. (Lecithin is optional, but helps oil and water emulsify). Put the flour into a pie pan, and mix liquid from the bowl into it until the mixture can be formed into a ball. Press and flatten to the sides and bottom of pie pan using your hands. Prick with a fork (DO NOT FORGET THIS STEP). Bake for 15 minutes for a partially baked crust.
Filling:
Sauté the onions and mushrooms in oil, add tamari soy sauce. In a blender or food processor, blend tofu, 1/4 cup oil and nutritional yeast. Pour into a large bowl and mix in steamed spinach, sautéd onions and mushrooms. Pour entire mixture into partially baked crust and bake at 350 for 30 minutes. Let cool. Enjoy!
