5. Peel boiled eggs and chop finely with a knife or grate on a coarse grater.
6. Transfer the fish from the jar along with the juice to a deep bowl and mash with a fork until pasty.
7. Peel the garlic, grate it on a fine grater (or pass through a press) and add to the fish. (You can also add finely chopped parsley or basil.)
8. In a bowl with the fish, squeeze 1 tablespoon of lemon. a spoonful of juice.

   

9. Add the minced eggs to the fish as well. Season with salt to taste.
