This is a plant-based twist on the classic French-Canadian savoury pie. Traditionally eaten the night before Christmas or on New Year's Eve, it's a delectable medley of spiced veggie ground, mushrooms, and tender potatoes encased in a flaky, golden crust.

Dalia Jakubaitytė - Jan. 27, 2025, 12:25 p.m.

Loved it! Personally I prefer it cold and without any sauce. Very easy to make, would make again


Brigitte - Dec. 25, 2024, 4:42 p.m.

Great recipe. Changed the mock ground with 100 gr of TVP soaked in veggie broth. Nice and festive


Marion - Dec. 25, 2024, 1:19 a.m.

Best recipe ever! I’ve used Impossible Meat and it was great! Thank you again PUL 💖


Alexis Bushnell - June 12, 2024, 12:06 p.m.

I definitely need to remember to soak the TVP in stock first to make it taste better. I don't love the taste as is but am hoping when I try it again it will be better.

PUL small logo PUL Team - June 12, 2024, 5:44 p.m.

Hi Alexis, there are two versions of veggie ground available in our local grocery store. One is made from hydrated TVP which doesn't need to be soaked, and dry TVP which needs to be soaked to rehydrate. We used the hydrated version for this recipe. If you use dry TVP, it's indeed best to soak it before adding it to the filling 🙌

Alexis Bushnell - June 13, 2024, 11:49 a.m.

Oh wow! We only have the totally dry one available here, I didn't even know the other one existed! Amazing.


Maxine - April 4, 2024, 3:33 a.m.

This was really delicious. It was also quicker than making traditional tourtière since I didn't have to make pie crust. My vegan ground meat was a bit dry so I added a bit of "no beef" bouillon and it all came together nicely.

PUL small logo PUL Team - April 4, 2024, 4:02 p.m.

Thanks a bunch for sharing your experience with the, tourtière, Maxine! So happy to hear it was a success 🥰


Kristen - March 30, 2024, 10:51 p.m.

Nom nom nom! Our family devoured this. Will become a regular meal here 😋


Will Potbury - Feb. 25, 2024, 6:44 a.m.

Delicious and fluffy. I crumbled up firm tofu as my substitute for crumbled soy if you can’t find it in stores.

PUL small logo PUL Team - Feb. 25, 2024, 7:47 p.m.

A lovely idea, Will, thanks for the tip!


Jana K - Feb. 20, 2024, 10:23 p.m.

I just wanted to say a huge thank you to Sadia and everybody in the team! I hosted a fully plant based dinner party recently and included this and the pea basil pesto pasta as the main dishes. They were both HUGE hits with all the guests, who btw usually cannot imagine a meal without meat. It was a huge moment for me serving fully plant based for heavy meat lovers but it was a success. I just want to thank you all for these delicious recipes that enabled me to do that. Let’s hope together we’re making some changes in peoples’ hearts ♥️

PUL small logo PUL Team - Feb. 21, 2024, 2:26 a.m.

Aw major props for hosting and thanks for welcoming us into the party! We couldn't do it without your support. We're beyond happy to hear the dinner was a success and hope we can share many more delicious moments together 🤩


Diti - Jan. 30, 2024, 1:21 p.m.

Voll Lecker ! 😋


Anna - Jan. 8, 2024, 8:12 a.m.

Easy to make and super tasty! Will definitely make this again.


Yara Rosenboom Alves - Jan. 4, 2024, 9:38 a.m.

I loved it!!!
I’ve been following you for years and I really love your recipes. I have 2 suggestions 🙃 please look into portuguese cuisine, there are already a lot of books recreating portuguese dishes but in vegan and I think you could get a lot of inspiration from there :)
Also, I would love to have a feature where we can upload pictures of our recreations!!

Have a nice year 🎉

PUL small logo PUL Team - Jan. 4, 2024, 10:14 p.m.

Hey Yara, aw Happy New Year! Thanks for the very kind words and requests. We've noted down the request for Portuguese-inspired dishes and being able to share pictures of creations on the app.

In the meantime, we'd love to see your creations on Instagram with the tag #pickuplimes or @pickuplimes. You can also join our PUL App discord to share pictures. If you'd like to join, send us an email to support@pickuplimes.com 🥰✨


Vani Batu - Jan. 1, 2024, 2:05 p.m.

Amazing recipe!! Just made it for NYE lunch for my friends and they LOVED it thoroughly. Some even packed the leftovers home. Thank you so much for always providing amazing, simple yet delicious recipes 😊 Happy New Year 🥳

PUL small logo PUL Team - Jan. 3, 2024, 7:05 a.m.

Aw we're smiling from ear to ear reading this, Vani, thank YOU for welcoming us into your kitchen and nourishing adventure 🤗 Happy New Year!


Jessie - Dec. 30, 2023, 9:12 p.m.

This has become one of my favourites! Easier to make than I expected and tastes so good. I made it for a dinner party and everyone loved it, asking for seconds despite feeling full already! Will definitely make again and again!

PUL small logo PUL Team - Jan. 3, 2024, 2:21 a.m.

So honoured it was part of the dinner party and enjoyed, Jessie! Thank you for welcoming us into your kitchen and festivities 🤗


Rene’ - Dec. 30, 2023, 7:34 p.m.

This was delicious and really easy to make.


Audrey - Dec. 29, 2023, 5:30 p.m.

This was incredible! And way easier than I expected. I didn’t have parsley or spinach, so I subbed with finely chopped Kale and that worked well. I used beef flavored TVP for the protein.
This may become a holiday tradition! Thanks for the great recipe :)

PUL small logo PUL Team - Jan. 2, 2024, 5:28 p.m.

Awe we're so happy that the recipe was enjoyed, Audrey! Wishing you the Happiest New Year 🥰


Robin Susa - Dec. 27, 2023, 12:01 a.m.

Very tasty! Will make again.


Kim - Dec. 26, 2023, 1:04 a.m.

Big hit with the family during our Christmas dinner. This was very good


Phil Htz - Dec. 25, 2023, 5:20 p.m.

My first time hosting a Christmas meal and your Tourtière and sauces were absolutely loved ! They paired great with the lemony beans as well :)
This is probably going to become our Christmas tradition (unless you come up with an even greater recipe next year).
Thank you!

PUL small logo PUL Team - Dec. 26, 2023, 3:40 p.m.

Haha that'll always be the aim, to top what we've done before, but I'm so glad to hear this one was enjoyed Phil, thank you! And happy holidays! 🎄


Suzy B. - Dec. 25, 2023, 10:35 a.m.

We traditionally have tourtiere for Christmas Eve and I'm so happy to find a vegan version! It's really tasty. My husband preferred the parsley dip (I made it with yogurt) and I prefer the spicy ketchup. Simple and delicious!


Romane Q - Dec. 21, 2023, 12:19 a.m.

We made it for a christmas meal with friends. We all loved it. It's fast ans easy to make !
The sauces are super good with it !


Sandra - Dec. 18, 2023, 1:26 p.m.

We tried this out today because we want to cook it for Christmas. It’s really delicious and easy, I will definitely cook this again even outside of the holiday. Next time I will add more mushrooms, as it was a bit dry.

Funnily enough, I liked the ketchup sauce more than the Mayo sauce. :)

I will definitely make this again!

PUL small logo PUL Team - Dec. 19, 2023, 4:15 a.m.

Aw we're so honoured you're considering the recipe for the festivities! Thanks for sharing your experience with it, Sandra ☺️


Nikki - Dec. 16, 2023, 10:36 p.m.

This is super tasty and pretty easy to make. The first one I made I brought to a holiday party, and everyone loved it. I haven't tried the ketchup based sauce yet, but the other one was great. It's definitely a sauce I would use again in other dishes.

PUL small logo PUL Team - Dec. 18, 2023, 4:23 a.m.

Woohoo! So honoured that the Vegan Tourtière was part of the festivities, Nikki, thank you ☺️


Phillipa - Dec. 14, 2023, 9:30 p.m.

We loved this in our house - it reminded me of english pies we had as children. We were a bit short on pastry so we had extra filling that, when added with a tin of tomatoes, made an excellent ragù for dinner the next day. Now that we live in Germany we are trying to find our own Christmas traditions and we have decided to make this our dinner every December 24th. Thank you!

PUL small logo PUL Team - Dec. 15, 2023, 8:17 a.m.

Aww embracing new traditions is a beautiful way to celebrate the holidays. Your creative use of the extra filling for a ragù sounds delicious. Wishing you joy and warmth as you create your traditions, Phillipa - we're honoured to be part of the adventure 🥰💛


Anthony Robinson - Dec. 10, 2023, 7:54 p.m.

Don't forget to add the protein when cooking mushrooms

PUL small logo PUL Team - Dec. 11, 2023, 2:35 a.m.

Thanks, Anthony! If you use the step-by-step cook-along "Make" feature we can tick ingredients off as we go in case it helps. The soy veggie ground is slide five 😎


Sophie - - Dec. 9, 2023, 6:26 p.m.

Great recipe and fairly easy! I do think i will skip the ketchup/sambal sauce next time though..
