Gochujang and Honey Lamb Souvlaki
A Greek-Korean original, lamb shoulder marinated in gochujang and honey so the Korean fermented chilli paste and the Mediterranean souvlaki tradition produce skewers where the sweet heat caramelises into a blistered crust that makes both traditions recognisable and neither dominant.
