1For the shortcrust pastry:

6For the filling:
7Finely chop the onion. Gently fry until translucent.
8Cut mushrooms into quarters. Dice sun dried tomatoes. Add to onions with dried parsley, basil and nutritional yeast. Fry gently.
9In a separate bowl add silken tofu, chickpea flour, pepper and tumeric. Beat well.
10Add mushroom mixture to tofu and stir well. Pour into pastry dish and bake in the oven for 30 - 40 minutes or when it is baked through. Leave to cool before serving.
