Tashrib(تشريب) is stew over flatbread. It is a traditional food of Mesopotamian cuisine, usually made with lamb.

This vegan variation omits meat and uses chickpea as the main ingredient instead of as an optional addition. It can be partially mashed for a thicker hummus stew. Sometimes tomato and potato are added to tashrib.
