How to make
Place the beans in a large saucepan and cover with cold water. Bring the beans to a gentle simmer over medium heat. Cover and cook them until they begin to tender, about 1 hour and 15 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper to the beans and cook until the liquid is absorbed, about 25 minutes. Remove the beans from the heat, drain and discard any other liquid, and set the beans aside.
In a large medium skillet over medium heat, cook the figs for 5 minutes, until browned. Transfer them to a plate. Add the onions to the pan and cook for 10 minutes until they turn golden brown. Transfer them to a baking tray. Brown the sausage and transfer it to a bowl.
Preheat the oven to 350F. Drain all but 4 tablespoons of fat from the pan. Add the chicken breasts to the fat and brown them over medium-high heat. Transfer the chicken to a bowl with the sausage. Brown the chicken legs in a bottle and transfer them to the bowl.
In a large whipped cream bowl, combine giblets, onion, sausage, chicken pieces and legs, tomatoes, wine, chicken fillet, garlic, tomato paste, 3/4 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon ground black pepper. Cover with a lid or foil and bake in a skillet for 25 minutes. Add the carrot to the pan, cover and cook for another 20 minutes.
Add the reservoirs from the frozen sauce and gently stir the mixture. Shaking the bowl a little, add the breadcrumbs, parsley and thyme melted butter. Sprinkle the seasoned breadcrumbs over the biscuit and bake, uncovered, for 1 hour. Discard the bundle in the oven and serve hot with the cosmetics.
