Preheat a grill or skillet over medium heat. Cook the kebabs for about 10-12 minutes, turning occasionally, until they are crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside.
4
While the meat is cooking, halve the tomatoes and bell peppers. Grill them for a few minutes until slightly softened.
5
Cut the flatbread into smaller pieces. Toast them in a skillet or oven until slightly crispy.
6
Heat the tomato sauce in a small saucepan. Melt the butter and stir it into the sauce.
