Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix lamb with Aleppo pepper, cumin, half the fresh herbs, and salt until just combined. Divide into two portions.

  2. Step 2

    Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high until it smokes, about 2 minutes.

  3. Step 3

    Mold each portion onto a flat skewer or shape into a thick patty. Sear without moving for 3 minutes until edges char deeply.

  4. Step 4

    Flip and sear the other side for 2-3 minutes until cooked through and charred on the outside.

  5. Step 5

    Toss tomatoes with red onion, remaining fresh herbs, and a pinch of salt. Warm lavash over the lamb's residual heat or in the pan.

  6. Step 6

    Slide kebab onto lavash, top with tomato salad, dust with sumac, and serve immediately.
