Ingredients
- 2 large onions, sliced into thick rounds
- 2 red bell peppers
- 4 medium tomatoes
- 1 small hot pepper, such as serrano
- 1 (7-ounce) can tuna, packed in water
- 2 ounces crumbled feta cheese
- 2 hard boiled eggs, chopped
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon fresh oregano
Instructions
Over the flame of your gas range, under a broiler, or on a grill, cook the onions until the edges char slightly and the onions soften. Transfer the onions to a plate to cool.
Over the flame, char the bell peppers, tomatoes and hot pepper until dark and blistered. Place them in a bowl and cover with a dish towel for 10 minutes. When cool enough to handle, remove the stems, seeds, and charred skin, then dice. Dice the onion.
Place the vegetables on a flat serving platter and top with the tuna, feta and hard-boiled eggs. Sprinkle with salt and pepper.
In a small bowl, stir together the lemon juice, olive oil and oregano and pour it over the platter.

For this traditional appetizer the vegetables can be served chopped or very briefly processed in a food processor or blender to make a chunky dip. Either way, serve it with warm, fresh pita bread.
