Clean up the sinew from the lamb and leave some fat.

Slice the lamb into rectangular pieces lengthwise.

Add salt, black pepper, red sumac, saffron water, Greek yogurt, and olive oil to the lamb and mix well.

Cover the mixture with cling wrap and refrigerate for about 4 hours or overnight.

Skewer the marinated lamb onto long metal skewers, leaving gaps between pieces for even cooking.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat and place the skewers on it.

Flip the skewers every 30 seconds for about 3-5 minutes until cooked to medium doneness.

Serve with grilled tomatoes and saffron rice or in a wrap.
