Substitute for Marsala

Our answer

Nigella suggests serving the Toad In the Hole (from Kitchen)with an Onion Gravy recipe that is made from caramelised onions and meat stock. Nigella adds a little Marsala wine to the gravy at the end of the recipe, though it can be optional.

Marsala is a fortified wine and can be sweet or dry, though most usually the dry version would be used for cooking. Possible substitutes would be a dry Madeira wine or a darker sherry such as Oloroso. If you don't have these then you could also use port or red vermouth.
