BillySue32605Tofu Cutlets Marsala
Ingredients:
1/4 cup cornstarch
1/4 cup all-purpose flour
1/4 tsp salt
1/4 tsp freshly ground pepper
1 (16 ounce) pkg of tofu (extra firm), drained, rinsed and cut crosswise into eight 1/2 inch thick slices.
4 tsps extra-virgin Olive oil, divided
2 large shallots, minced
1 tsp dried thyme
6 cups sliced cremini or white mushrooms
1/2 cup dry Marsala wine
2 tsps cornstarch
1 cup vegetable broth or chicken broth
1 tsp tomato paste
Cooking Instructions:
Preheat oven to 300 degrees. Whisk 1/4 cup cornstarch, flour, salt and pepper in shallow dish. Pat tofu with paper towel to remove excess moisture.
Heat 2 tsp oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Dredge 4 tofu slices in the flour mixture, add them to the pan and cook until crispy and golden, about 3 mins per side. Place the tofu on a baking sheet and transfer to the oven to keep warm. Repeat with another tsp of oil and the remaining tofu, adjusting the heat if necessary to prevent scorching.
Add the remaining 1 tsp of oil, shallots and thyme to the pan. Reduce heat to medium and cook, stirring constantly, until the shallots are slightly soft and beginning to brown, 1 to 2 mins. Add mushrooms and cook, stirring often, until tender and lightly browned, 3 to 5 mins. Stir in Marsala and simmer until slightly reduced, about 1 min.
Whisk the remaining 2 tsp cornstarch with broth and tomato paste in a small bow. Stir into the mushroom mixture, return to a simmer and cook, stirring constantly, until thick and glossy, about 4 mins. To serve, spoon the hot sauce over the tofu slices. Serves 4 people.
