Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Bring 1.5 cups salted water to a boil. Stir in bulgur, remove from heat, cover, and let sit 12 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Thread lamb cubes onto two metal skewers, alternating with onion rings. Season generously with salt and pepper.

  3. Step 3

    Heat a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high until very hot, about 2 minutes. Sear lamb skewers 3 minutes per side until edges char.

  4. Step 4

    Push lamb to one side. Add peppers and tomatoes cut-side down to the skillet. Sear 2 minutes until charred.

  5. Step 5

    Fluff bulgur with a fork. Divide between two plates. Arrange lamb, peppers, and tomatoes on top.

  6. Step 6

    Sprinkle parsley and sumac over everything. Warm pita in the skillet 30 seconds per side. Serve alongside.
