Category: Main Course, Lamb

Serves: 2

Ingredients:

1 medium onion 1 T. sumac 4 Hungarian or Italian peppers 4 tomatoes, halved 1 pound lean ground lamb 1-1/2 c. finely chopped onion 2 cloves minced garlic 1/2 t. crushed red pepper flakes 1/2 c. chopped Italian parsley 1/8 t. salt Freshly ground black pepper 4 pita breads

Directions:

Slice onion as thinly as possible and mix in the sumac, crushing the onion to release the juices. Prepare stovetop grill, and grill whole peppers and tomato halves until they are tender and set aside. Combine the lamb, chopped onions, garlic, red pepper, parsley, salt and pepper to taste, and knead to make a paste. Divide into 4 equal portions, and mold on 4 flat skewers to make long sausage-like rolls. Grill lamb kebabs on all sides until they are browned. Heat bread, and serve with kebabs, with onion-sumac relish and tomatoes and peppers on the side.
