  • Boil the eggs in salted water for 10 minutes. Dip them then in cold water to them more easily. When completely cooled, shell and halve them. Remove the yolks gently.
  • Crush the olives to a smooth paste. Add the tuna and keep mashing to a perfectly homogeneous mix. Combine then with the mustard, and gradually with the oil and brandy: the mix should be creamy. Season with pepper and lemon juice.
