Ingredients

  • 1 block (14 oz) firm tofu, pressed and cubed
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 8 oz mushrooms, sliced (such as cremini or button)
  • 1 onion, finely chopped
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 cup vegetable broth
  • 1/2 cup Marsala wine
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon dried thyme
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Fresh parsley for garnish

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Tofu: Press the tofu for at least 30 minutes to remove excess moisture, then cut it into cubes.
  2. Cook the Tofu: In a large skillet, heat one tablespoon of olive oil over medium-high heat. Add the tofu cubes and cook until golden and crispy on all sides, about 8-10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.
  3. Sauté the Aromatics: In the same skillet, add another tablespoon of olive oil. Add chopped onions and mushrooms, sautéing until the onions are translucent and the mushrooms are softened, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in minced garlic and cook for an additional minute.
  4. Make the Sauce: Pour in the Marsala wine and vegetable broth, scraping up any browned bits from the skillet. Add soy sauce, thyme, salt, and pepper. Bring to a simmer and allow the sauce to reduce for about 5 minutes.
  5. Combine: Return the crispy tofu to the skillet, gently mixing it into the sauce. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes, allowing the tofu to absorb the flavors.
  6. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve over rice, pasta, or your favorite grain.
