Ingredients

  • 1 demi-baguette
  • French mayonnaise – to your taste see notes above
  • Rustic French country pâté 100 grams see notes above
  • Half dozen slices of cold cuts of your choice eg. country ham, pastrami, perhaps some coppa or mortadella, or even lardo or salami – it’s entirely up to you.
  • 1 cucumber skin on thinly sliced
  • quick pickle of carrots and daikon see this pickled carrots and daikon recipe
  • dozen small sprigs of coriander or any fresh fragrant herbs you like
  • sprinkle of finely sliced birds eye chillies or chilli sauce optional

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 180˚C.
  • Place the demi-baguettes in the oven until warm — usually about a minute.
  • Slice the baguette lengthways but don’t cut all the way through.
  • Spread the French mayonnaise thickly on the top half of the baguette.
  • Spread the rustic French country pâté on the bottom half of the baguette.
  • Add generous layers of sliced cold cuts to your taste.
  • Add a layer of cucumber slices, then a layer of quick pickle of carrots and daikon, then a layer of fresh coriander (or whatever fragrant herbs you like)
  • Then, and this is optional: if you enjoy a bit of bite, sprinkle in some finely sliced birds eye chillies or squeeze in a little chilli sauce, such as Sriracha, before folding the two halves together.
  • Eat immediately and enjoy!
