Directions

* Note: See the “Emeril’s Essence Information” recipe which is included in this collection.

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a food processor, pulse the bread crumbs, pecan pieces and Emeril’s Essence together. Pulse for 1 minute. Season the tenderloins with salt and pepper. Rub each tenderloin with the mustard, covering the tenderloin completely.

Dredge the tenderloin in the pecan crust mixture. In a saute pan, heat the vegetable oil. When the oil is hot, pan-fry the tenderloin for 2 to 3 minutes on each side. Place the rabbit in the oven and roast for 2 minutes. In a saucepan, heat the olive oil. Add the onions, green onions, celery, bell peppers, jalapenos, and garlic.

Saute for 2 minutes. Add the herbs and continue sauteing for 1 minute. Stir in the tomatoes and stock. Season with cayenne, salt and pepper. Simmer the sauce for about 30 minutes. With a hand-held blender, puree the sauce until smooth. Whisk in the cold butter, a few cubes at a time until all the butter is incorporated into the sauce. Re-season with salt and pepper. To assemble, mound the greens in the center of the plate. Arrange the tenderloin on top of the greens. Spoon the sauce over the top. This recipe yields 4 servings.
