Join the discussionCan you use almond milk or another milk substitute in this? We have dairy allergies and have run into some problems substituting for milk on some recipes.Thanks!
I think you could substitute almond milk as long as it is not flavored. Coconut milk could work too, but it will have a slightly different flavor. Hope you can still enjoy it!
I had dairy problems for a LONG time and I can tell you that almond milk would work in this, as would soy. You might have some trouble with rice milk, but it’s worth a try. (Some people I know have had trouble with rice milk when you need to cook it.)
Sadly, I just made this and on low it looks like the milk curdled and I will need to throw the meal away- all organic ingredients, any suggestions?
Make sure you are cooking it on low and not too long. I thought mine had curdled, but went ahead and made the sauce and it was completely fine. If you are really having problems (maybe your slow cooker has a higher temperature) you can add the milk later in the cooking process. For example cook half of the indicated time. Add milk, then finish cooking. Hope the second round turns out better for you.
I made this last night and it was a hit! My slow cooker runs hot so I added the milk for the last 30 minutes and it worked just fine. Sauce is delicious!! Served over brown rice. Yum!
