Not sure how much that is. Can I use fresh Tomatoe? Canned whole or crushed tomatoes? How much?

If you’re doing this in the US where sugar is generally added to canned tomatoes at the factory, I suggest leaving out the sugar, you can always add it later if you like.
Leftover spetsofai also makes a KILLER sandwich on a toasted, hollowed-out, crusty, French roll or baguette! Be careful to not make it too sloppy with too much of the sauce, though.

Depends where you are shopping at. In Greece these are branded as traditional Greek sausages and are flavoured depending on their origin (Ipiros etc). Abroad, your best bet would be a local greek deli to get the original saucages – alternatively you can try any sausage that you really fancy, but be mindful that it needs to be spicy (not in the hot sense but with a lot of spices) to bring out the flavour on this dish

Love
