Ingredients

Instructions

  1. 1

    Seed the red bell pepper and chop it very finely by knife or in a food processor; squeeze out a little of the juice.

  2. 2

    Knead the lamb, chopped pepper, 3 g of the paprika and 10 g of the salt in a large bowl for 5-6 minutes until sticky and well bound; chill for 20 minutes.

  3. 3

    Divide into 8 portions and, with wet hands, press each onto a flat skewer about 2 cm thick. Thread the tomatoes and green peppers onto separate skewers.

  4. 4

    Grill over charcoal or on a very hot cast-iron grill pan: 3-4 minutes per side for the kebabs, 8-10 minutes turning for the vegetables until the skins blacken.

  5. 5

    Thinly slice the red onion and rub it with the remaining 2 g salt; toss with the chopped parsley and remaining 2 g paprika.

  6. 6

    Warm the lavash on the grill for 20-30 seconds and lay it over the kebabs so it softens in the steam.

  7. 7

    Serve the kebabs hot with the lavash, charred tomatoes and peppers, and the onion salad.
