Soak wooden skewers in water for 30 minutes to prevent burning.

Combine ground lamb, finely chopped red bell pepper, onion, garlic, parsley, cumin, paprika, black pepper, and salt in a large bowl.

Mix the ingredients thoroughly until well combined.

Divide the mixture into equal portions and mold onto the soaked skewers.

Preheat the grill to medium-high heat.

Brush the skewers lightly with olive oil.

Place the skewers on the grill and cook for 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until browned and cooked through.

Serve the kebabs with warm flatbread, sliced tomatoes, onions, and lemon wedges.

Sprinkle sumac over the kebabs before serving for added flavor.
