Heat the oven to 180°C (160°C in a fan oven), 350°F, gas 4 and grease four trapeze-shaped pie dishes.

Heat the oil in a pan and fry the rabbit meat until brown. Remove from the pan and add the bacon, onion, garlic, mushrooms and thyme. Deglaze with the wine, add the rabbit and simmer on a medium heat for 10-15 minutes.

Roll out the pastry on a floured work surface and cut out four 14 cm diameter circles and place them in the pie dishes. Cut out another four 10 cm diameter circles for the lids.
5.
Season the meat mixture with salt and ground black pepper and fill into the pie dishes. Place the lids on top and seal the edges well. Bake for 30-35 minutes until golden.
6.
Blanch the beans in boiling salted water for 2-3 minutes. Remove and drain.
7.
Heat the butter in a pan, add the beans, season with salt, ground black pepper an savoury.
