White Bean Ragout

Duck Breast and Sausage

Focaccia Gratinee

Method

Preparation of the White Bean Ragout

  1. 1

    Prepare the Beans

    Soak the Cannellini beans overnight in water. Drain and rinse before cooking.

  2. 2

    Cook the Vegetables

    In a large pot, heat olive oil over medium heat. Add onion, garlic, carrot, and celery. Sauté until softened, about 5-7 minutes.

  3. 3

    Simmer the Ragout

    Add the soaked beans, chicken broth, thyme, bay leaf, salt, and pepper. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for about 1-1.5 hours or until beans are tender.

Cooking the Duck and Sausage

  1. 4

    Prepare the Duck

    Score the skin of the duck breasts in a crosshatch pattern. Season with salt and pepper.

  2. 5

    Sear the Duck

    In a skillet over medium heat, place the duck breasts skin-side down. Cook for about 6-8 minutes until the skin is crispy, then flip and cook for another 4-5 minutes. Remove from the pan and let rest.

  3. 6

    Cook the Sausage

    In the same skillet, add the grilled chicken sausage and cook until heated through.

Finishing Touches

  1. 7

    Prepare the Focaccia

    Preheat oven to 375°F (190°C). Cut the focaccia into wedges and brush with melted butter. Place on a baking sheet and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese.

  2. 8

    Bake the Focaccia

    Bake the focaccia in the preheated oven until golden and crispy, about 10-15 minutes.

  3. 9

    Serve

    In a bowl, place a generous serving of the white bean ragout. Top with sliced duck breast and grilled chicken sausage. Garnish with toasted pumpkin seeds and serve with the crispy focaccia on the side.
