Half and score the eggplant, then roast for about 45 minutes or until very soft. In the last 15 minutes add the peeled garlic cloves to the pan to roast. Let cool, then remove the eggplant skin and discard. Next, add chickpeas, eggplant, garlic, tahini, water, lemon juice, salt, cumin, and baking powder to a blender and set aside. Then bring pomegranate juice to a boil then reduce to medium heat and let simmer until most of the liquid is evaporated and your left with a thick syrup. This should make about 1/2 tbsp of pomegranate syrup. Next add the pomegranate syrup to the blender and blend very well. I blend for about 1 minute. Note: you don't want to make the syrup in advance because it will harden as it cools. Make it right before adding it to the blender and then soak the saucepan immediately for easy clean up :) Finish by using a mixer to whip some air into the hummus for about a minute to make it nice and fluffy like the Trader Joe's version. Let the hummus rest overnight tho thicken and marinate and viola! You have your very own, homemade version ofTrader Joe's famous eggplant hummus. Hope you enjoy! BIG THANKS TO MY VIEWER WHO - WANTED TO REMAIN NAMELESS - FOR HER INCREDIBLY KIND GIFT OF THE HAND MIXER FEATURED IN THIS VIDEO! For those of you who don't know from my holiday videos, I was sent a mixer after a viewer noticed I didn't have one. She was inspired to preform a random act of kindness because she'd recently lost her father and wanted to honor his passing by doing something kind for a stranger, so she reached out to me and asked if she could send me a mixer! She didn't want to be named or publicly thanked but I hope she knows that I think of her and her dad every time I use and I am always inspired to be kind because of it. Thank you again :) ______________________ Camera & Equipment I use to film my videos: Camera: https://amzn.to/2NhnwFA Lens for food pics (if I'm not using my iPhone): https://amzn.to/2uCDxi2 Tripod:https://amzn.to/2LmmozW Vlog Tripod: https://amzn.to/2KTxh09 Microphone: https://amzn.to/2mgUgn6 Lights: https://amzn.to/2zBhTQE Hard Drive: https://amzn.to/2NgxU0x Other Places You Can Find Me :) Instagram • https://www.instagram.com/nikkivvegan/ Twitter • http://Twitter.com/nikkivegan YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/theveganview Facebook • https://www.Facebook.com/nikkiveganonyoutube My Shop: https://shopnikkivegan.com Hey guys, welcome to my channel!
