Soak the dried white beans (150 g) in plenty of water overnight, then drain and boil in fresh water for about 45 minutes until soft.
Heat the olive oil (1 tbsp) in a pan and sear the Salsiccia sausage (1) thoroughly on all sides, then remove.
Sauté the chopped onion (1) and the finely minced garlic clove (2) in the remaining fat until translucent.
Briefly toast the tomato paste (1 tbsp) to achieve full depth – meow, it already smells wonderful!
Place the cooked beans (150 g) into an ovenproof pot with the poultry broth (300 ml) and fresh thyme (2 sprigs).
Place the duck leg (1) and the seared Salsiccia sausage (1) on top of the bean bed.
Bake in a preheated oven at 180 degrees for approx. 30 minutes until a golden-brown crust forms.
