Recipe - Ground Lamb Kebabs With Sumac Relish

2 Onions; very thinly cut or sliced up
2 tablespoon Sumac
2 pound Ground lamb
2 Onions; finely chopped
One half cup Finelychopped parsley
4 Garlic cloves; minced
1 teaspoon Kirmizi biber; see * Note
1 Egg white
Salt
4 Poblano chiles ; (to 6)
Flat bread or pitas
Melted butter
4 Tomatoes (to 6); halved

* Note: Spice made from red peppers, crushed into oiled flakes or finely
ground. Different types range from mild and sweet to very hot. Substitute
mixture of sweet paprika and cayenne pepper.

In a small bowl, combine the cut or sliced up onions and sumac and toss well. Set
aside until ready to serve. In a large bowl, combine the lamb, chopped
onions, parsley, garlic, and kirmizi biber, and mix thoroughly, kneading
with your hand. Add the egg white and salt, and knead mixture to a paste.
Divide it into 4 equal portions, and roll each portion into a flat, sausage
shape. Wipe kebab skewers with oil, and using a dampened hand gently
squeeze meat against the skewer. Secure meat onto skewer by squeezing
mixture up and down, spreading it evenly and making sure it is firmly
attached to the skewer. Preheat a grill to mediumhigh heat and brush it
with oil. Roast the poblano chiles over the grill. Keep turning so the skin
is evenly charred, without burning and drying out the flesh. Transfer
charred peppers to a plastic bag, tie the top closed and let steam until
cool to the touch, about 15 minutes. Peel off the charred skin by hand. Cut
away stems, seeds and veins, and halve them. Heat the flat bread or pita
until warm but not crisp, cut into cubes and wrap in foil to keep warm.
Grill the kebabs, brushing them with the melted butter, about 2 to 3
minutes per side. Grill the tomato halves at the same time. To serve, place
the bread cubes on a serving platter or individual plates, drizzle with
melted butter, remove meat from skewers and place over bread. Top with
roasted peppers and tomatoes, drizzle with more butter, and serve
immediately with the sumac relish. This recipe yields 4 to 6
