Where to find ingredients
You can find these staples at major supermarkets like Naivas or Carrefour. Look for processed ham and mozzarella in the chilled deli section. If you cannot find pre-sliced mozzarella, any block of mild melting cheese will work as a substitute.

- Combine the ham, mozzarella, and chopped olives in a mixing bowl.
- Fold the well-drained tomatoes into the mixture.
- Season with oregano to taste and stir thoroughly to ensure the flavours are evenly distributed.
- Taste the mixture and adjust the seasoning if necessary.
- Use the filling immediately to assemble your pastries or store it in the refrigerator until you are ready to cook.
