BASQUE TUNA
Lightly flour the tuna. Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large flameproof casserole and brown the tuna on all sides. Transfer the tuna to a dish and set aside, Add another tablespoon of oil to the casserole and cook the red pepper until softened. Add the eggplant, garlic and onions. As soon as the eggplant turns golden, add the tomatoes. Bring to a boil, add the thyme, bay leaf, cayenne pepper, salt and pepper. Return the tuna to the casserole. Cover and simmer for 50 minutes.
