Step 1
Mix ground beef, minced onion, parsley, and spice blend with 0.5 tsp salt. Divide into 4 portions and mold firmly onto metal skewers.
Step 2
Heat grill or grill pan to medium-high. Lightly oil the grates. Arrange skewers and pepper halves on the hot surface.
Step 3
Grill kofta 6–7 minutes, rotating once or twice, until cooked through and charred at edges. Peppers should blister, 5–6 minutes.
Step 4
Thinly slice half a raw red onion and toss with 0.5 tsp sumac and a pinch of salt. Let sit 2 minutes; this is your sumac onions.
Step 5
Warm rice pilaf and flatbread while kofta finishes cooking.
Step 6
Plate rice, flatbread, kofta, and grilled pepper. Top with sumac onions and a pinch of extra sumac. Serve immediately.
