 Remove all visible fat and gristle from lamb and cut into 1 1/2" cubes.

 Thinly slice 1 onion. Combine sliced onion, parsley, olive oil, vinegar,
 cumin, red pepper flakes, salt and pepper. Mix well. Add lamb cubes and
 stir to coat evenly. Cover and refrigerate several hours or overnight.

 Cut remaining 4 onions in quarters. Cut bell peppers into 2-inch pieces.

 Thread lamb cubes onto skewers. Thread tomatoes, onions and bell peppers
 onto separate skewers to allow for individual cooking times. Grill lamb
 kebabs over hot coals, turning occasionally to cook lamb evenly, about
 15 minutes. Then place vegetables over coals and cook until tender, about
 5 to 10 minutes. Serve skewers over a bed of rice.
