Honestly, I think anything with TUNA SAUCE is good, just like anything fried, haha!
The eggplants are a truly summer vegetable and so versatile that you can prepare an entire menu from appetizer to dessert!
The measurements are a bit approximate, meaning it depends a lot on your personal taste to add a few more capers or make the tuna sauce more or less creamy…
With eggplants, you can prepare a meze, a Greek cuisine sauce that is very tasty and always found in appetizers, and that is:

FOR THE PREPARATION OF THE EGGPLANT IN TUNA SAUCE RECIPE
Wash and remove the stem of the eggplant.
Slice it into about 1/2 inch thick pieces.
Grill them on both sides on a hot grill plate and as they cook, place them on a separate plate.
Let them cool completely and proceed to make the tuna sauce.
The tuna sauce is very simple because you just need to put the drained tuna from the oil, with the washed capers, anchovies, and mayonnaise in the mixer.
Operate the blades and blend all the ingredients into a smooth cream.
Adjust the creaminess of the sauce to your liking and also the saltiness according to your personal taste.
Arrange the grilled eggplant slices on a serving dish, then pour over the tuna sauce covering the eggplant.
Garnish with the caper flowers and some parsley leaves for color and serve at the table.
If it’s not mealtime, cover with plastic wrap and keep in the fridge until ready to serve.
Enjoy your eggplant in tuna sauce!
