Rabbit confit shepherd’s pie

Tip
For a more refined presentation, you can also assemble the dish individually on each plate just before serving, using a biscuit cutter as a mould, instead of layering the ingredients in advance, as we do for traditional shepherd's pie. Spoon a little aioli on the side and garnish with a bit of parmesan and chives.
