Soak the kokorec in vinegar water for 10 minutes, rinse, and dry the surface well with paper towels.
Wrap the kokorec tightly around a skewer and sprinkle half of the salt over it.
Cook the skewer in a 180°C oven or covered grill for 70 minutes, turning as it cooks.
Finely chop the cooked kokorec with a cleaver.
Turn the chopped kokorec in a pan with thyme, cumin, red pepper flakes, and remaining salt for 6 minutes.
Finely chop the tomatoes and green peppers, add them to the pan, and cook for 4 minutes more.
Fill the bread with kokorec and serve hot.
💡 Tip: Ask the butcher for cleaned lamb kokorec; a brief second rinse in vinegar water balances aroma without toughening the texture.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve in bread with finely chopped tomato, green pepper, thyme, and optional ayran on the side.
