Stuffed eggplants with tuna are an appetizer or a side dish suitable for this period 🙂
After the unstable weather of the past few days, good weather is returning and temperatures will tend to rise. Let’s hope it’s not too muggy, otherwise, the heat becomes unbearable.
In summer, I often buy eggplants and cook them in many ways: in main and second courses, savory pies, stews, or they are stuffed.
I always use different ingredients for the filling and usually use what’s available.
Eggplants can be filled with what we like most: with meat, vegetables, or cheese.
Today I tried them with tuna and added some tomatoes. I used natural tuna, but those who prefer can also use the one with oil, and in that case, it is not necessary to add oil to the filling.
They are tasty, and I served them with turkey patties.
So if you want to try them too, now I’ll post my recipe 😉
