Instructions
  1. In a saucepan, sweat the onion and garlic in the olive oil until it is fragrant.
  2. Add the pork and dairy-free milk to the saucepan, making sure to blend well. Season with salt and pepper and add bay leaf.
  3. Cover the pot, cook over very low heat for about one hour. Make sure you stir once in a while to avoid the cretons from sticking to the bottom of the pan.
  4. Cook, uncovered, for 30 minutes or until the liquid has almost completely evaporated and becomes translucent.
  5. Remove from the heat and divide the mixture between four ramekins.
  6. Refrigerate for at least 2 hours and serve with gluten-free bread, rice cakes or crackers.
Recipe Notes

Liquid: I used unsweetened hemp milk as a milk alternative, but any dairy-free milk alternative will work well. You can also use water only, or 1 cup of water with 1/2 a cup of chicken broth or vegetable broth.

Spices: I chose to use only salt and a bay leaf in my cretons and my family loved them. If you have a more adventurous palette, you can add a 1/2 teaspoon of some the following spices: ground cloves, cinnamon, ginger powder, all spice, nutmeg or all spice
