  2. Allow the other two cutlets to project slightly beyond the trimmed cutlet.

  3. Place the trimmed cutlet between the other two and tie them together.

Cook and serve

  1. Grill the triplet, turning it carefully with cutlet tongs or a hanging gridiron.

  2. Serve the middle cutlet to the invalid, while the outside cutlets can be used by those with stronger digestions.

What each ingredient does

Mutton cutlets
Provide the meat that browns and firms up on the grill, giving the dish its main body and flavour.
Gravy
Adds moisture and savoury flavour to the meat when served alongside it.

The step that matters

Turning the grilled triplet carefully. The three cutlets are tied together, so turning them gently keeps the bundle intact and prevents the juices from escaping as the meat cooks and browns on each side.
