Notes
To ensure this recipe is gluten free, use a gluten free barbeque sauce.
You can use regular flour if you don't have chickpea flour, in the same amount.
If you don't have marjoram on hand, oregano, savory or thyme are great substitutes!
White bean purée can be made from white kidney, cannellini, Great Northern or navy beans. Check out our website for more info!
