Hope you guys don't mind I'll be posting probably lots of recipes since I can't work out I have more time on my hands...
I modified a cooking light recipe...

Ingredients
2 (15.5-ounce) cans no-salt-added chickpeas (garbanzo beans), rinsed and drained
3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil maybe more, I think I used about 4
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
6 tablespoons pre-made pesto give or take (I bought mine at trader joes, picture below)
Preparation
1. Place beans and garlic in a food processor; pulse 5 times or until chopped. Add remaining ingredients; pulse until smooth, scraping down sides as needed.
