Yes, ostrich tamales. The recipe is from Randall Warder of the Mansion on Turtle Creek in Dallas. At the restaurant Warder serves this with pan-roasted ostrich fillets and a smoked shrimp enchilada with a Thai sauce. Soak chiles in bowl of hot water to cover until soft. Place chiles and 2 tablespoons soaking liquid from chiles in blender or food processor. Puree 1 minute. (If using ground chiles, simply mix with 2 tablespoons water.) Add cumin, coriander, oregano and cinnamon and continue pureeing until smooth. Heat oil in saucepan until very hot. Add chile puree and fry 1 minute. Add onion, garlic, ostrich and torn tortilla. Stir well to combine. Add beer and stock, bring to boil, reduce heat and simmer 2 hours. Remove stew from heat and season to taste with salt and lime juice. Spread 1 1/2 tablespoons corn puree on each corn husk "boat." Top with stew and serve. Makes 8 servings.
