Instructions
Cut off top and bottom of eggplant and then cut in half lengthwise. Set in roasting pan, drizzle with extra olive oil, season with salt and pepper/ Cover roasting pan with tin foil and roast for 1 hour or until eggplant becomes soft to touch.
Once eggplant is cooked, scrap eggplant flesh out of skin and allow to cool.
Place garlic in food processor and pulse until chopped fine.
Scrape side of bowl and add the rest of the ingredients, leaving bean liquid aside. Pulse hummus until smooth, about 2 minutes. If hummus seems to tight, add some of the bean liquid a little bit at a time until desired consistency is achieved.
