Gather @ground lamb{700%g}, @red bell pepper{1}, @red pepper flakes{2%tsp}, @sweet paprika{1%tsp}, @fresh parsley{0.5%bunch} and @flatbread{4}.

Knead the lamb with the minced red pepper, pepper flakes, paprika and @salt{1.5%tsp} for a full 5 minutes, until sticky and pastelike. ~{5%minutes}

Chill the mixture for 30 minutes so the fat firms up. ~{30%minutes}

With wet hands, press the meat along flat skewers in a long, even band, ribbing it gently with your fingers.

Grill over hot coals or a screaming grill pan, 3–4 minutes per side, until charred outside and just cooked through. ~{8%minutes}

Warm the flatbreads over the fire and use one to slide the meat off each skewer.

Toss the sliced @onion{2} with @sumac{1%tbsp} and parsley and serve heaped beside the kebabs on the bread.
