Directions

* Note: See the “Rustic Rub - {Emeril’s Rustic Seasoning}” recipe which is included in this collection.

Preheat the oven 350 degrees. For the filling: In a saute pan, heat the oil. Season the rabbit with Rustic Rub. When the pan is smoking hot, brown the rabbit evenly, about 3 minutes on each side. Remove from the pot and set aside. Add the flour to the pan and stirring constantly, make a medium-dark roux. Add the onions, shallots, garlic, mushrooms, and cook for 3 minutes. Season with salt and black pepper. Add the andouille and cook for 2 minutes. Return the rabbit to the pot. Add the wine and stock, bring up to a boil, and reduce to a simmer. For biscuits: In a mixing bowl, combine all of the ingredients and mix well. The dough will be slightly sticky. Pour the rabbit mixture into a square casserole dish. Drop a heaping tablespoon at a time of the biscuit dough, 1-inch apart directly on top of the filling, covering the entire dish. Bake for 30 to 35 minutes until the biscuits are golden and the rabbit is tender. Spoon a couple of servings onto an oversized platter, exposing the rabbit pieces and leaving the biscuits whole. Garnish with chopped chives, long chives, brunoise peppers, and black pepper. This recipe yields 4 servings.
