With a blender, you need liquid. It's a different beast than a food
processor; something has to drag the blended stuff down to the blades.
So add some water and oil to the garbanzos and you can puree them in
the blender. Same thing goes for making pesto in the blender. It
will do a finer job than the food processor (which is great for
chopping leaves) but you need the liquid.
