Hold skewer upright and place one ball at the lower end of skewer, molding it so that it completely surrounds skewer in the shape of a long sausage. Repeat with additional balls. Grill until well done. Grill tomatoes and peppers. Warm flatbread and break into pieces, on two plates. Drizzle with butter. Lay two kebabs on top of bread. Place tomatoes and peppers on top of kebabs.
