Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Mix ground lamb with sumac, 1 tsp salt, and black pepper. Divide into 4 portions and pack tightly onto metal skewers, pressing to form long kebabs.

  2. Step 2

    Slice 1 onion into thick rings. Cut peppers in half lengthwise, remove seeds. Toss peppers and tomatoes with 1 tbsp olive oil, salt, and pepper.

  3. Step 3

    Arrange kebabs and peppers on a broiler-safe sheet pan. Broil 4 inches from heat for 6–8 minutes, turning kebabs halfway, until exterior is charred.

  4. Step 4

    Push kebabs to the side. Add onion rings and tomatoes to pan, broil 2 more minutes until onions char and tomatoes blister. Drizzle everything with pomegranate molasses.

  5. Step 5

    Warm flatbread directly over a burner flame or under the broiler for 30 seconds per side until pliable and lightly charred.

  6. Step 6

    Slide kebabs onto flatbread, top with charred peppers, onions, tomatoes, and fresh parsley. Serve immediately.
