Directions

* 2 tablespoons sugar (vegan is best)
* 1/2 cup oil
* 2 tablespoons orange juice (or vegan soymilk)

In a large bowl place all of the dry ingredients.
Add Orange Juice, mix with a fork
Pat into 9-inch pan with fingertips.
Pre-baked crust, prick it to prevent bubbles and bake it for 10 mins. at 425F. Remove and decrease oven to 375F.

Cook in a large skillet: one red onion, diced and 2 Tablespoons olive oil.

Add and cook until tender, 8-10 mins:
1 pound chard leaves, thicker stems cut into small pieces (cook these first with onions to soften) well washed and chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced

Season with:
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil
1/4 teaspoon salt
fresh ground pepper to taste
pinch of ground red pepper, to taste. turn off heat from pan.

Combine in a seperate bowl-- 1/2 package of tofu
1/3 cup plain soy yogurt
1 package tofutti better than cream cheese

Add the chard mixture to the tofu mixture and stir. Put mixture immediately into pie crust pan. Spread evenly. You can topped with sliced tomatoes--that's good. Bake until the filling is golden and firm. 25-35 minutes
