Method · 5 steps

1
In a bowl, combine ground lamb, finely chopped red bell pepper, grated yellow onion, Aleppo pepper, salt, and black pepper. Mix thoroughly with your hands until well combined.
2
Shape the meat mixture onto wide, flat metal skewers. Aim for a long, flattened shape.
3
Preheat your grill to medium-high heat. Grill the kebabs for about 7–8 minutes per side, or until cooked through and slightly charred.
4
While the kebabs are grilling, grill the tomatoes and green peppers until tender and slightly blistered, about 5–6 minutes.
5
Serve the Adana Kebabs immediately with grilled vegetables, lavash bread, and a sprinkle of sumac.
