Instructions

Prepare a medium-hot fire in a charcoal grill with a cover, or preheat a gas grill to medium-high.

To make the slaw:
In a large bowl whisk together mayonnaise, creole mustard, sugar, vinegar, salt and chipotle peppers until blended and smooth. Toss together with green cabbage, red cabbage, collards and scallions until coated. Cover and chill until ready to serve.

To make the apricot sweet onion chutney:
Heat oil in a fire proof skillet. Caramelize onions until they are a golden brown, about 10 minutes. Add garlic and dried apricots, continue to cook for an additional 2 minutes before deglazing the pan with vinegar and wine. Simmer, stirring frequently, until thick, about 6-8 minutes. Season with salt, cover and keep warm until ready to serve.

To make the patties:
Mix together in a large bowl, using a spoon, ground beef, andouille, worcestershire sauce, garlic, salt, pepper and oregano until thoroughly combined. Portion into 12 equal patties, cover and keep chilled until ready to grill.

Brush grill grates with oil. Place patties gently on the rack and grill for 4-5 minutes per side, turning once, or until desired doneness is reached. Brush French rolls with butter, place on the racks and toast.

To assemble burgers. Place two patties per roll, spoon chutney over patties and top generously with cajun slaw and pickles before serving.
