It looked tasty enough to figure out ingredient amounts, so I did.  And I posted it here in October of last year. It&#8217;s a pretty awesome dish.<\/p>\n<p>But for me, it gets a bit stressful trying to fry the tofu in a timely fashion, while several other things are happening.  I also wanted to move us away from frying so often.  So, we tried baking the tofu, and discovered we liked it even more.<\/p>\n<p><center><div id=\"attachment_300\" style=\"width: 310px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.glutenfreeveggie.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/tofumarsala.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-300\" src=\"http:\/\/www.glutenfreeveggie.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/tofumarsala-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"This recipe plus asparagus tips\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-300\" srcset=\"http:\/\/www.glutenfreeveggie.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/tofumarsala-300x225.jpg 300w, http:\/\/www.glutenfreeveggie.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2013\/06\/tofumarsala-1024x768.jpg 1024w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-300\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">This recipe plus asparagus tips<\/p><\/div><\/center><\/p>\n<blockquote><p><b>Herb Crusted Tofu with Mushroom Marsala (and Mashed Potatoes)<\/b><br \/>\n(serves 3-4; to serve less cut back on tofu and mushrooms)<\/p>\n<p>2 14 oz blocks Wildwood Superfirm Sproutofu<br \/>\n1 cup soy sauce<br \/>\napprox 2 cups marsala wine or other dry wine<br \/>\n24 oz baby bellas or other brown mushrooms, sliced<br \/>\n1 onion, julienned or in half slices<br \/>\ngluten-free bread crumbs (about 6 large slices worth)<br \/>\nroughly 1\/2 cup Silk creamer or soymilk<br \/>\nthyme, oregano and basil to taste (the recipe originally used herbs de provence, another option)<br \/>\ninstant mashed potato flakes<br \/>\nbutter, margarine or oil<br \/>\ngarlic and rosemary (optional)<\/p>\n<p>1. After <a href=\"http:\/\/www.glutenfreeveggie.info\/?p=287\">preparing tofu<\/a>, slice each block into quarters, then cut each of those slices on a diagonal. You&#8217;ll get eight triangular slices out of each block this way.<br \/>\n2. Marinate these slices in a mixture of 1 cup wine, 1 cup soy sauce and 1 cup water for at least 30 minutes. Keep in fridge.<br \/>\n3. While tofu is marinating, saute the onions in vegetable oil, as slowly as you can to encourage caramelization.<br \/>\n4. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Place the breadcrumbs in a bowl with herbs of your choice.  The chefs in the video used only thyme.  I used thyme, basil and oregano.  Pull the tofu out of the marinade and dredge them in the bread crumbs.<br \/>\n5. Spray cookie sheet with spray oil and place breaded tofu in single layer on sheet.  Bake 30 minutes or so, until golden brown (turning not needed).<br \/>\n6. When onions are soft, add mushrooms and herbs of your choice.  Saute until the mushrooms have given up their juice and the liquid has cooked away.<br \/>\n7. Increase heat and add wine to mushroom\/onion mixture.  Let that cook off until dry.<br \/>\n8. Decrease heat and deglaze the pan with a bit of Silk creamer. Add slowly and adjust to get the sauce volume and thickness that you&#8217;d like. The sauce is done.<br \/>\n9. Prepare instant mashed potatoes with potato flakes and butter\/margarine, adding garlic and rosemary to them if desired.<\/p>\n<p>Serve tofu on bed of mashed potatoes, with mushrooms and sauce poured on top. Enjoy!<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I first found this recipe in a video by Fearn Smith and Russell Pierce.
