- Heat the oven to 200C/fan 180C/gas 6. Make the morel cream by cooking the shallot in half the butter until softened. Throw in the morels and cook for a few mins. Add the white-wine vinegar and allow to reduce.
- Tip in the wine and reduce by two-thirds. now add the stock and again reduce by half. Add the cream, bring to the boil, season and remove from the heat.
- Heat a little oil in a hot frying pan. Season the guinea fowl generously and start cooking, skin-side down. Continue until the meat is coloured and the skin is golden brown. Turn over, put in the oven and roast for another 8-10 minutes or until the breast has a slight spring to it when pushed. Remove from the oven and add the remaining butter and a splash of Madeira to the pan. Allow to rest for a few minutes, and keep basting with the cooking juices.
- Arrange some hot buttered spinach on a plate, slice the bird with one long-angled cut and put on top of the spinach, then spoon over the resting juices and dress with a generous amount of the morel cream.
