- Stir in the crumbled tempeh.
- Marinate the tempeh mixture in the fridge for 30 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
- Heat the peanut oil in a large-size saucepan.
- Cook the marinated tempeh, along with the marinade, over medium heat until it browns, about 8 minutes.
- Add the spinach and cook until heated through, about 5 minutes.
- Remove from heat.
- Preheat the oven to 375°F (190°C, or gas mark 5).

- Shape into a disk.
- Roll out the dough to approximately 11 × 10 inches (28 × 25 cm), a little over 1/8 inch (3 mm) thick.
- Transfer the dough to the prepared baking sheet.
- Place the filling on top of the prepared crust, leaving about 1 inch (2.
- 5 cm) from the edges, as the filling will pile up high.
- Level the filling and fold the edges of the pie crust up to form a wall, leaving some filling visible.
- Bake for 25 to 30 minutes, or until the top of the crust is golden brown.
- Let stand for 10 minutes before slicing and serving.
