Step 1
Grate the 1 medium onion and squeeze out excess liquid. In a bowl, combine the 1 lb ground lamb, grated onion, 1 tbsp isot pepper, and 1 tsp salt. Mix until just combined.
Step 2
Shape the mixture into 4 long, thick sausages around flat skewers, pressing firmly. If using wooden skewers, soak them in water for 30 minutes first.
Step 3
Preheat a grill or grill pan over medium-high heat. Cook the kebabs, turning occasionally, until charred on all sides and cooked through, about 10-12 minutes. The meat should feel firm and reach 160°F.
Step 4
Serve the kebabs hot with the 4 pieces of flatbread and your favorite sides like grilled tomatoes or onions.
