Steps:
- Heat the oil in a medium saute pan or skillet (not nonstick) over medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes (do not let the garlic brown). Push the garlic off to the side of the pan and add the mushrooms. Increase the heat to medium high and season the mushrooms with salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms are cooked through and begin to become golden in spots, 10 to 12 minutes.
- Add the spinach, sprinkle with an additional pinch of salt and turn with tongs until wilted. (If you can't fit all the spinach in the pan, cover it for a few minutes, then uncover, stir and add the rest.) Transfer to a serving platter, drizzle with the vinegar and serve warm.

SPINACH AND MUSHROOM GRATIN
The cream sauce of a vegetable gratin is something I like to eat with brown basmati rice, but barley, couscous, or quinoa would be just as suitable.

Steps:
- Preheat the oven to 350°F (180°C). Halve or quarter the mushrooms, depending on their size. Warm the butter and 2 tablespoons of oil in a deep pan and add the mushrooms, letting them color nicely here and there (expect to add more oil if they drink it all). Pour in the wine and bring to a boil. Continue to boil for a couple of minutes.
- Pour the cream into the pan and let it come back to a boil, then simmer for two minutes. Turn off the heat. Wash the spinach and put it, still wet from rinsing, into a pan with a tight-fitting lid. Let the spinach cook for a minute or two in its own steam, then drain it and squeeze to remove excess water.
- Reserve several tablespoons of the Parmesan. Fold together the mushrooms, drained spinach, salt and black pepper, and the rest of the grated Parmesan. Put into a shallow baking dish. Scatter the reserved cheese on top and bake for thirty-five minutes, until the top is crisp and golden.
Tips:
- Use fresh spinach for the best flavor and texture. If using frozen spinach, thaw and squeeze out as much water as possible before using.
- Sauté the mushrooms until they are browned and tender. This will help to bring out their flavor.
- Use a good quality Gruyère cheese. This cheese is nutty and flavorful, and it will help to create a rich and creamy sauce.
- Don't overcook the gratin. The spinach and mushrooms should be tender, but still have a bit of a bite to them.
- Serve the gratin hot, with a side salad or roasted vegetables.
Conclusion:
Guy Savoy's spinach and mushroom gratin is a delicious and elegant dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make, and it can be tailored to your own taste preferences. Whether you are a fan of spinach, mushrooms, or cheese, you are sure to enjoy this gratin.
