Hi,
There are few versions of chickpea puree (pate) depending on the region.
So this pureed chickpea belongs to Gaziantep. I've already posted another one which comes from the Ottoman era like Hummus, here;

Hi,
There is no tomato in the second version of the recipe. The filling has only mashed chickpea, olive oil, cumin, lemon juice, salt and pepper:)
