Servings: persons

2 carrots, coarsely chopped
1/4 cup rice vinegar, unseasoned
1 tablespoon sugar
1/2 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons Tabasco sauce
2 teaspoons tomato paste
1 garlic clove, minced
kosher salt
fresh ground pepper
1 1/2 lbs ground chuck
1 1/2 teaspoons curry powder
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 tablespoons unsalted butter, softened
one 24-inch baguette, quartered crosswise and split
2 pickled jalapeno peppers, thinly sliced
12 fresh cilantro stems

1
Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. In a small bowl, toss the carrots with the rice vinegar and sugar and let stand for 10 minutes; drain.
2
In a small bowl, whisk the mayonnaise with the Tabasco, tomato paste and garlic; season with salt and pepper.
3
Form the meat into four 6-inch-long oval patties about 1 inch thick. Season with the curry powder and salt and pepper. (I think I would just mix this into the meat?).
4
In a large skillet, heat the oil until shimmering. Cook patties over moderate heat, turning once, until medium (about 12 minutes).
5
Meanwhile, spread the butter on the cut sides of the baguette. Set the bread cut side up on a baking sheet and bake for about 5 minutes or until lightly toasted.
6
Spread the Tabasco-spiked mayonnaise on the bread and top each baguette section with a burger patty, pickled shredded carrots, pickled jalapeno slices and cilantro springs.
7
Close sandwiches and serve hot.
8
Make Ahead: Mayonnaise and carrots can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
