Soak skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Cut lamb into cubes and place in a bowl.

Chop onions and bell peppers into chunks, add to the lamb.

Mince garlic and add to the mixture.

In a separate bowl, whisk together olive oil, lemon juice, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper.

Pour marinade over the lamb and vegetables, mixing well to coat.

Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours, preferably overnight.

Preheat grill to medium-high heat.

Thread lamb and vegetables onto skewers, alternating pieces.

Grill skewers for 10-15 minutes, turning occasionally, until lamb is browned and cooked to desired doneness.

Remove from grill and let rest for a few minutes.

Serve with pita bread and fresh herbs, garnished with sumac.
