  • 2 small baguettes
  • 50g chicken liver pate
  • 1/4 cucumber, sliced thinly and diagonally
  • 140g turkey, shredded
  • 1 tbsp mayonnaise

  • 75g red cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1/2 tsp grated ginger

  1. Begin with the slaw. Tip in the carrots and cabbage into a large bowl, then in a smaller bowl combine the ginger, rice, vinegar, sugar and a pinch of salt. Pour this over the carrots and cabbage, and mix to coat. Set to one side for at least 15 minutes.
  2. Cut the baguettes open and spread the pate over the bottom half. Top with the pickled slaw, cucumber and turkey.
