Method
step 1
Prepare the BBQ for direct cooking by spreading the coals in an even layer.
step 2
To make the kebabs, combine the lamb mince with all the other ingredients and lots of seasoning. Mix well with your hands, as if you are kneading bread, for 5 minutes. Form into 12 kebabs and thread onto metal skewers.
step 3
Put the onions into a bowl of iced water for 20 minutes. Drain well, then tip into a bowl and mix with the parsley, sumac and some seasoning.
step 4
Cook the kebabs for 4 minutes on each side or until cooked through and charred. (Alternatively, heat the grill to high and cook the kebabs for 8 minutes, turning halfway, until charred and cooked through.) Serve with the sumac onions, flatbreads, yogurt, tomatoes, pickled chillies and more parsley.
