Ingredients

  • 1 lb ground lamb
  • 1 medium onion
  • 1 tbsp isot pepper
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 4 pieces flatbread

Instructions

  1. 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 4

    Serve the kebabs hot with the 4 pieces of flatbread and your favorite sides like grilled tomatoes or onions.
