Directions
* Note: See the "Emeril's Essence Information" recipe which is included in this collection.
In a large pot, combine the oil and flour together over medium heat.
Stir the mixture for 15 to 20 minutes for a dark brown roux. Add the vegetables to the roux and season with Emeril's Essence. Cook the vegetables for about 5 minutes or until they are wilted. Add the stock and bay leaves. Season the rabbit pieces with the Essence and add to the liquid mixture. Bring the liquid up to a boil and reduce to a simmer. Simmer the gumbo, uncovered for about 2 hours. Skim off any fat that rises to the surface. Just before serving, add the oysters and their liquid and continue to simmer for 2 to 3 minutes or until the edges of the oysters curl. Remove from the heat and discard the bay leaves. Stir in the file powder and parsley. Re-season the gumbo if necessary. Ladle the gumbo over white rice. Garnish with chopped parsley. This recipe yields 6 servings.
