Instructions

1. Making chimi sauce

In a small mixing bowl, mix the ketchup, mayonnaise, orange juice, and Worcestershire sauce. Set aside in the fridge.

2. Making the chimi patties

Pulse onion, garlic, bell pepper, salt, pepper, and Worcestershire sauce in a food processor until you obtain a coarse paste.Mix the seasoning paste with the meat. Divide meat into 6 portions and form 6 patties (round for hamburger bread, oval-shaped for pan de agua).

3. Grilling the patties

Brush a stove-top grill, heavy skillet, or large griddle with some of the oil and heat over high heat. Grill the patties, rotating until they are cooked through. Set the cooked burgers aside.

4. Toasting the bread

Reapply some oil to the grill, lower the temperature to medium-high heat, and warm the bread.

5. Grilling the vegetables

Reapply oil to the grill, and sear onion and tomato slices. Mix the cabbage with half the sauce made in step 1. Turn down the heat to medium and briefly cook the cabbage. Heating the cabbage is an optional step.

6. Assembling

Put meat, onions, tomatoes, and cabbage on the bottom half of the buns, and garnish with the remaining sauce. Top burgers with the other halves of the bread.You can briefly put them back on the grill and press lightly if you want.

7. Serving

Serve right away. Goes great with an ice-cold beer.

Notes

This sandwich/burger is traditionally made with pan de agua (a Dominican bread similar to mini-baguettes. If you can't buy or make pan de agua, use burger buns, because what else can you do if you really want some chimis?
