Cooking Tips

• Make sure to dice the eggplant into small, even pieces to ensure even cooking.
• For a spicier kick, add some red pepper flakes to the caponata.
• If you prefer your tuna more well-done, cook it for an additional minute on each side.

Storage and Serving

• This salad is best served immediately to enjoy the freshness of the ingredients.
• If you have any leftovers, store the tuna and caponata separately in airtight containers in the refrigerator.
• The caponata can be enjoyed cold or reheated in a pan before serving.
