　　Despite the exotic name of this sandwich, you can get all the ingredients right at the supermarket. Liverwurst stands in for the traditional pork-pâté filling—the meatiness works beautifully with the sharp-flavored vegetables and fresh cilantro.

　　

Ingredients

Makes 4 individual sandwiches

　　1/2 pound daikon, peeled

　　1 carrot, peeled

　　1/2 cup rice vinegar (not seasoned)

　　1 tablespoon sugar

　　1 (24-inch) soft baguette

　　2 tablespoons vegetable oil
