Ingredients

1 kg ground lamb (with fat)
2 onions, grated and drained
1 tbsp sumac
Salt, black pepper
Lavash bread
Red onion and herbs for garnish

Instructions

1. Mix the ground lamb with drained onions and spices. 2. Knead the mixture for at least 15 minutes until it becomes sticky (this prevents it from falling off the skewer). 3. Mold the meat around long metal skewers into a cylinder shape. 4. Grill over hot charcoal, rotating frequently. 5. Serve immediately by sliding the meat onto a piece of lavash bread. Garnish with sumac and sliced red onions.
