Can I use a different type of cured pork?
Yes, if you cannot find 'syglino', 'apaki', or 'pastourmas', you can use good quality smoked bacon or pancetta. The flavor will be slightly different but still delicious.

Ripe, fresh tomatoes are always best. If they are not in season, good quality canned diced tomatoes can be used as a substitute, but drain them well.
Absolutely. Omit the cured pork and instead, sauté some finely diced onions or peppers with the tomatoes for added flavor and texture.
