Preheat grill to medium high approximately 450-550 degrees F. Brush peppers and onions lightly with olive oil. Grill peppers and onions for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally until lightly charred and tender. Remove from grill and allow too cool.
Dice grilled red peppers, onion and red finger peppers and place in a medium sized saucepot. Add crushed red chilies, garlic, red pepper jelly and hot sauce. Bring mixture to a slow boil, stirring to keep from scorching. Season to taste with salt and pepper and set aside keeping warm. Remove from heat and cool. Cover and refrigerate until needed.
The Burger:
In a bowl combine icy cold ground veal, 2 tbsp BBQ seasoning rub, onion, garlic, parsley, and voodoo relish. Form into six 4-ounce burgers, approximately ½ inch thick and 4 inches in diameter. Brush the burgers with melted butter and sprinkle liberally on both sides with remaining BBQ seasoning. Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat griddle pan on the BBQ to medium high heat. Place burgers onto hot griddle and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side until well done but still juicy. Toast Buns.
