sýglino
σύγκλινο or σύγλινο
Smoked pork (also known as παστό, pastó) from the Máni, but is common throughout the southern Peloponnese. It is preserved with salt and then slowly smoked over green sage or other herbs, which gives it a unique flavour, then slow cooked in lard, glína (γλίνα).
When it's time to eat, the meat is heated in water with oranges. Other similar versions are made in Crete and Sparta.
