Step 1
Pat lamb dry. Toss with garlic, lemon juice, Aleppo pepper, olive oil, and a pinch of salt in a bowl.
Step 2
Thread lamb and onion chunks alternately onto skewers, leaving no gaps between pieces.
Step 3
Heat a cast iron skillet or grill pan over medium-high until smoking, about 2 minutes.
Step 4
Sear skewers 3–4 minutes per side without moving, rotating every 90 seconds for even char. Lamb should be medium-rare inside.
Step 5
Slide skewers onto a plate. Squeeze fresh lemon juice over top and scatter parsley.
Step 6
Serve hot with lemon wedges and flatbread if desired.
