Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix lamb, minced onion, sumac, cumin, salt, and pepper in a bowl until just combined.

  2. Step 2

    Divide meat into 4 equal portions and mold onto flat metal skewers, pressing firmly into a flat paddle shape.

  3. Step 3

    Toss cherry tomatoes with 1 tbsp oil, salt, and pepper. Spread on one side of a sheet pan.

  4. Step 4

    Heat remaining oil in a large skillet over medium-high until shimmering, about 90 seconds.

    Sear kebabs 2–3 minutes per side without moving until deeply charred and cooked through.

  6. Step 6

    While kebabs cook, roast tomatoes at 425°F for 8–10 minutes until blistered and soft.

  7. Step 7

    Slide kebabs onto a plate. Serve alongside warm roasted tomatoes.
