Step 1
Toss lamb with lemon zest, lemon juice, cumin-sumac blend, salt, and pepper until evenly coated.
Step 2
Thread lamb, onion, and pepper onto metal skewers, alternating pieces until full.
Step 3
Heat olive oil in a large heavy skillet over medium-high until it shimmers, about 90 seconds.
Step 4
Lay skewers flat in the pan and sear 2 minutes without moving until charred on one side.
Step 5
Flip and sear another 2 minutes on the second side — lamb should look caramelized outside, pink inside.
Step 6
Transfer to a plate and rest for 2 minutes. Serve immediately with warm pita or rice.
