Step 1
Mix lamb with Aleppo pepper, cumin, half the fresh herbs, and salt until just combined. Divide into two portions.
Step 2
Heat a cast iron skillet over medium-high until it smokes, about 2 minutes.
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.
Step 4
Flip and sear the other side for 2-3 minutes until cooked through and charred on the outside.
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.
Step 6
Slide kebab onto lavash, top with tomato salad, dust with sumac, and serve immediately.
