Are there any methods available to "fix" a sauce that has curdled?

Or, if I can't fix the curdling, is there any way to still use the sauce? What can I do with it?

If you're making a sauce that isn't supposed to curdle, and it does, you throw it out and start over.

Add 1/4 cup boiling water to the curdled sauce, wisk gently, and repeat until sauce is smoothed out. Re-season and serve promptly. This isn't a 100% cure but if throwing out the sauce isn't an option then boiling hot water is the closest thing to a fix you can get.

I just had this problem...

The sauce with milk turned into Curds and oil.

I was cooking it in a crockpot with chicken.

I added a bunch of Quinoa, and let that cook. The quinoa soaked up the oil, it made everything look much better, it tasted great.
