Eggplant with Tuna

Bake the aubergines in the oven until they soften well and peel them. Beat all the ingredients in the blender and add the salt. Taste the food, in case it needs some more vinegar or salt.

We wash and cut the aubergines in small cubes. We salt them and leave them in the colander to soak the bitterness out of them. We wash them again and strain them. We peel and chop the tomatoes. In a deep pan, we heat the oil with 2-3 spoonfuls of water. We add the garlic and the aubergines.

According to the tradition, the monastery's founder is considered to be the emperor Alexios Komnenos.
