How to make the perfect burger and lamb kofta on the barbecue
This week we are back on the barbecue, using up cost-effective minced meat to produce two quick and delicious dinners. While there are many recipes for koftas and burgers on the market, elements such as pickled red onion and burger sauce will really elevate your home cooking. Flavour is often found in the less fashionable ingredients. The word koftas, from Persian culture, translates as 'to grind'. I've taken inspiration here from acclaimed Turkish chef Ahmet Dede of Dede restaurant in Baltimore, Co Cork, whom I've long admired for his talent, work ethic and ability to make complex food look incredibly simple to prepare while making it taste incredibly complex. It's quite the skill. His staff food is legendary and I've no doubt these have appeared a few times. The key is an even split of lamb and pork mince; the lamb is packed with flavour while the fat content of the pork mince prevents them from drying out. Toast your spices to reactivate them before blending it all together. Try not to overwork the meat when mixing – it should be ground and tender when you cut into it. Remember, we don't want meat paste. Pickled red onion is another go-to in my house during the summer. It can be made in a large batch and kept in the fridge, adding vibrancy and colour to so many dishes. In fact, the same recipe can be applied to loads of different vegetables that are sliced thinly. By pickling, you are also adding shelf life and saving on waste, as well as adding flavour options. READ MORE The second recipe is a classic smash burger, where the meat patty is pressed into the grill or grate to encourage browning and crisping of the edges. Note the specific cuts of meat for the mince. You can ask your butcher to do this for you. Going the extra mile will repay you handsomely in flavour – all you need to do is add some salt and pepper. Like the kofta, the aim is to avoid overworking the meat so it doesn't turn into paste. The real magic lies in the sauce. The addition of chopped capers, gherkins and dill will remind you of a very famous burger from a notable fast-food chain. This is delicious; once you try it, you'll never go back. Now, all we need is proper sunshine. Recipe: Barbecue lamb kofta with pickled red onion Recipe: Barbecue smash burgers with dill pickle sauce

Mayo cottage like something out of a fantasy novel selling for bargain price
On the market for just over €200,000, this thatched cottage just outside of Westport in Mayo looks like something out of The Lord of the Rings.

Luxury living in a Pembroke Road period pile for €795,000
Apartment number 4 at 51 Pembroke Road in Ballsbridge has been refurbished and dressed for sale. Now on the market priced at €795,000 the two-bed property is full of Georgian charm. Staged by designer Breeda O'Sullivan of Upstaged Properties, the apartment has been transformed into a fresh and bright space in its latest makeover. For O'Sullivan, there was a lot of satisfaction in taking on such a project as she got to work around some eye-catching period features and ensure that they had the ability to shine as the apartment comes to the market. 'It is a beautiful apartment with stunning features,' she says. 'The decor was quite dated, so we painted the walls in a Colourtrend paint called Subtle, which is our go-to colour, as it works in every property we stage. The woodwork was freshened up using a satin white and we used a light oatmeal carpet on the floor.' READ MORE Once this new neutral colour scheme was in place, Breeda and her team filled the property with contemporary furniture ensuring the light and sense of space were showcased. Situated on the second floor of the four-storey-over-basement building, the original stained-glass window on the return can be admired as you walk up the stairs to get to the apartment's front door. Set out over 102 sq m (1,097sq ft), the first thing you notice when you enter the home is the 3m high ceilings. Stained-glass in shared hallway The livingroom is south-facing and has a triple sash window looking out to the back garden. The original shutters have been restored and frame the large window that has views out as far as the Dublin mountains. There is a marble fireplace and hearth with a coal-effect gas fire. The room is laid out with a dining table at the window and the living area around the fireplace. Living space with diningroom Livingroom A door off the livingroom leads to the kitchen. The current units and oven could do with an upgrade but as the space is small and neat, it would not be a big undertaking. The two bedrooms are doubles and both have a large, shuttered sash window with Juliette balconies. The bathroom is across the hallway and comes with a bath and hot-press. Bedroom Sash window in bedroom The garden at the back of the house is well-kept and shared with the other residents. Two designated parking spaces come with the apartment, which is Ber-exempt. The location would be ideal for a young professional working in the city. There are numerous restaurants and bars on the doorstep in Ballsbridge and Donnybrook. Baggot Street is five minutes away on foot and a walk to St Stephen's Green takes 20 minutes. A city apartment that has retained its period features and coming to the market in good condition is not that easy to find any more. Number 4 at 57 Pembroke Road was a one-bedroomed apartment in a similar state and style when it sold for €526,000 last year. With the added benefit of a second bedroom and an extra 34 sq m to play around with, number 4, 51 Pembroke Road, comes to the market with an asking price of €795,000 with Hunters Estate Agent.
