10. Once the tofu is done, transfer to a baking dish and put it in the oven to keep warm.
11. In the same skillet, add more oil (if you need to), then add the shallots and dried thyme and let them soften and cook, stirring constantly (about 2-3 minutes).
12. Next, add the mushrooms and stir frequently until they are tender and golden brown.
13. Add the Marsala wine, stir and let it come to a simmer so the wine can reduce.
