  5. Gently take the top piece of parchment paper off the crust. Spray the pie pan with cooking spray and set beside crust. Gently take the end of parchment paper with the crust that is furthest away from the pan and slide the crust onto the dish. Peel parchment paper off,
  6. Roll out top crust the same way and set aside.
  7. For filling - In large bowl mix walnuts, tomatoes, onions, spinach, water, oregano, parsley, cilantro, garlic, and salt together.
  8. Pour filling into 9 inch pie pan with bottom crust in it. Smooth filling out and set the pan next to the top crust.
  9. Gently take the end of the parchment paper with the crust that is furthest away from pie pan and slide crust over the pan. Peel the parchment paper off.
  10. Fold extra crust under. Cut two slits in middle of crust for ventilation.
