Instructions: * Note 1: A complete 4-pack set of Emerils special Essence seasonings is available for $25.95 plus S & H. The set includes Rustic Rub (4.7 ozs), Bayou Blast (4 ozs), Southwest Spice (4.2 ozs), and Vegetable Dust (5.3 ozs).

In a mixing bowl, combine the bread crumbs, herbs, Rustic Rub and cheese together. Mix thoroughly. Season the rabbit with salt and pepper. Heat the olive oil in a cast iron skillet. Rub each piece of rabbit with the mustard, covering each piece completely. Dredge the rabbit in the bread crumb mixture. When the oil is hot, pan-fry the rabbit pieces for 3 to 4 minutes on each side, or until golden brown. Remove from the oil and drain on a paper-lined plate. Season the rabbit with Rustic Rub.

Ladle the Smothered White Beans in a shallow bowl. Lay the rabbit directly on top of the beans. Garnish with the chow-chow, fried spinach and cornbread sticks.
