Step 1
Mix ground lamb, minced red onion, Aleppo pepper, cumin, and a pinch of salt in a bowl until just combined.
Step 2
Divide mixture into 4 portions. Mold each around a metal or wooden skewer (soak wood 15 min), pressing firmly into a long oval.
Step 3
Heat a cast-iron skillet or grill over medium-high until smoking slightly, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Sear kebabs without moving them until deep brown and charred, 3–4 minutes per side. Internal temp should reach 160°F.
Step 5
Warm flatbread directly over the flame or in a dry skillet for 30 seconds per side until soft and pliable.
Step 6
Serve kebabs with warm flatbread, sliced red onions, tomato sauce, and fresh herbs on the side.
