• 1/2 cup white vinegar
• 1/2 cup sugar
• Kosher salt
• 1/2 small red cabbage, thinly sliced
• 1 tablespoon red currant jam
• 1/2 cup mayonnaise
• 1 tablespoon whole-grain mustard
• 1 tablespoon dill pickle relish
• 1 tablespoon capers
• 1 teaspoon curry powder
• 1 teaspoon ground turmeric
• 1 small onion, minced
• 2 pounds lean ground beef sirloin
• 1/2 cup half-and-half
• 1/4 cup breadcrumbs
• 1/2 teaspoon freshly grated nutmeg
• Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
• For the burgers

1. Make the pickled cabbage: Combine the vinegar, sugar and 1 teaspoon salt in a medium saucepan.
2. Add the cabbage and bring to a boil.
3. Reduce the heat; simmer until the cabbage is brightly colored and tender, about 30 minutes.
4. Remove from the heat; stir in the jam.
5. Meanwhile, make the remoulade: Mix the mayonnaise, mustard, relish, capers, curry powder, turmeric and 1 teaspoon minced onion in a small bowl (reserve the remaining onion).
6. Refrigerate until ready to use.
7. Make the patties: Combine the beef, half-and-half, breadcrumbs, nutmeg, remaining minced onion, 1 teaspoon salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl and combine with your hands.
8. Form the mixture into six 3/4-inch-thick patties.
9. Heat 1 tablespoon olive oil in a cast-iron skillet over high heat.
10. Add 3 patties to the skillet; cook until browned, 4 minutes.
11. Flip and cook until cooked through, about 5 more minutes.
12. Top each burger with a slice of cheese; cover and cook until melted, 1 minute.
13. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining 1 tablespoon olive oil, burger patties and cheese.
14. Spread the remoulade on the top buns.
15. Sandwich with the burgers and pickled cabbage.
