                         -----PIE CRUST-----
    1 2/3   c            Wholewheat pastry flour
      1/4   c            Oil
      1/4   c            Orange juice
 
   FILLING: Steam tempeh for 20 minutes, then either
   shred or dice finely. Stir into the remaining
   ingredients in a large saucepan. Bring to a simmer &
   cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Remove
   from heat & set aside to cool.
   
   CRUST: Pre-heat oven to 400F.  Combine all the pie
   crust ingredients until a soft dough is formed.  Add
   more juice if necessary. Divide into 2 pieces, one
   slightly larger than the other.  Place larger ball of
   dough onto a lightly floured surface & roll into a 9″
   circle. Place into an 8″ pie plate.
   
   Spoon filling into the pie crust.  Roll out remaining
   ball of dough & place on top of the filling.  Seal &
   crimp the edges.  Bake for 10 minutes & then reduce
   the heat to 325F & bake until the crust is lightly
   browned, about 30 minutes.  Cool & serve.
