Step 1
Mix ground lamb with cumin, coriander, paprika, and black pepper until evenly combined. Form into 4 oblong kebab shapes, about 4 inches long.
Step 2
Heat 1 tbsp oil in a large skillet over medium-high. Sear kebabs 4–5 minutes total, turning once, until browned and cooked through; transfer to a plate.
Step 3
In the same skillet, add tomato and pepper halves cut-side down. Grill 3–4 minutes per side until charred and softened; transfer to the plate with kebabs.
Step 4
Finely dice half the raw onion and toss with white vinegar, salt, and a pinch of sugar; let sit while you finish cooking.
Step 5
Boil bulgur in salted water until tender, about 10 minutes; drain and fluff with a fork. Stir in chopped parsley, diced onion from the onion salad, and a pinch of salt.
Step 6
Warm lavas bread in the skillet for 30 seconds per side. Plate bulgur pilaf, arrange kebabs, tomatoes, and peppers alongside; serve with bread and remaining onion salad.
