/2 Pound Ground andouille or other pork sausage  
Cup Thinly sliced onions  
−1/2 Pound White mushrooms; thinly sliced  
Tablespoon Chopped garlic  
Tablespoon Chopped fresh thyme  
Bay leaves  
Cup Amber beer  
Cup Brown chicken stock

In a large, oven−proof pan with a lid, heat the oil. Season the rabbit and  
/2 cup of the flour with salt and pepper. Dredge the rabbit pieces in the

seasoned flour, coating each side completely. Lay the rabbit, skin side down  
in the oil and brown for 3 to 4 minutes on each side. Remove the rabbit from  
the pan and set aside. Add the sausage and brown for 2 to 3 minutes. Add the  
onions. Season with salt and pepper. Saute for 2 to 3 minutes or until

off the fat. Remove the rabbit pieces from the pan and set aside.  
Blend the remaining flour and butter together into a smooth paste. Whisk the  
paste into the hot liquid. Bring the liquid to a simmer and cook for 3 to 4  
minutes. Add the rabbit back to the pan and continue to cook for 5 minutes.  
Stir in the parsley. Season with salt and pepper if needed. Serve the rabbit  
with the potato gratin and garnish with parsley.
