Cooking Steps
  1. Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Drizzle in olive oil and unsalted butter until melted and foamy.
  2. Add shallots and a pinch of salt. Sauté for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until golden brown and soft.
  3. Sprinkle in thyme and pour in marsala wine. Let simmer for about 5 minutes until wine reduces.
  4. Remove from heat and let the mixture cool slightly to prevent the butter from melting.
  5. In a mixing bowl, combine the cooled shallot mixture with softened butter and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  6. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to firm up.
