Warm the skillet over medium-high heat and add 2-3 tablespoons of olive oil to it. Pan-fry the kebabs in a few batches (4-5 at a time) about 4 minutes per side. Transfer the cooked kebabs onto a serving platter. Prepare the vegetables. Cut the tomatoes into quarters. Alternatively, leave them whole if cooking them on a barbeque grill. Slice the bell peppers into cubes or big chunks and discard the seeds. Add the veggies to the cast-iron skillet. Cook them over medium-high heat for about 3 minutes on each side or until they begin to soften. Serve the kebabs and grilled veggies with Mediterranean Rice Pilaf, quick pickled red onions, and toasted pita/naan bread.
