May have to try this with other liquids. Do you think balsamic vinegar would work with this? That is mad scientist-fantastic. May have to try this with other liquids.

For those interested, you can buy tapioca maltodextrin online at shops like http://www.lepicerie.com/catalog/product_702700_Tapioca_Maltodextrin.html. If using a different powder, I'd approach the recipe the same way: add a small amount of olive oil to start, then gradually add more until you barely get a spreadable paste. If you don't have a microwave, I'd put it in a 300-degree oven for a few minutes, until it is slightly dry.

Anyways, if I used maltodextrin, would it be the same ratio, you think? Also, um...what if you do not own a microwave...

I'm a little hesitant about the taste, but for how easy it sounds it's worth a go. Thanks for figuring out a recipe for us! It’s so crazy it might just work!
