Method
- Preheat the oven to gas 7, 220°C, fan 200°C. Mash the butter, garlic, parsley and some black pepper in a bowl; set aside.
- Tip the flour, eggs and breadcrumbs into 3 separate shallow bowls. Pat the aubergine slices dry with kitchen paper, then coat, one at a time, in the flour, eggs and, finally, the breadcrumbs.
- Arrange the aubergine slices in a single layer on a baking tray. Spray on both sides with spray oil; bake for 25-30 mins, turning halfway, until crispy and golden.
- Meanwhile, boil the green beans for 5-6 mins until tender. Drain, return to the empty pan and add the garlic and parsley butter so it begins to melt.
- Divide the aubergine schnitzel and beans among plates, with the herby garlic butter drizzled over. Scatter over the lemon zest, pecorino and a twist of black pepper, and serve with lemon wedges to squeeze over.
