Step 1
Start the fries in a skillet over medium-high heat with 2 tbsp oil, stirring occasionally until golden, ~12 minutes. Season with salt.
Step 2
While fries cook, mix ground lamb with minced onion, cumin, paprika, pepper, and a pinch of salt. Form into 4 oval patties.
Step 3
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a second skillet over medium-high until shimmering. Sear lamb patties 3 minutes per side until charred outside, interior stays pink.
Step 4
In the same skillet as the lamb, add halved pepper and tomato halves cut-side down. Sear 2 minutes per side until blistered and caramelized.
Step 5
Warm the rice in a microwave or small pot, ~2 minutes. Plate rice, top with kofte, and surround with grilled vegetables and fries.
