Duckling is a delicacy in Tanzania and is usually served when there are special guests. The same recipie is used for other meats and is particularly good with veal and chicken. Cooked bananas (a must), rice, potatoes, cassava, and Ugali are foods that well acompany this dish.

In a 6-quart Dutch oven or baking dish:

Saute: 1 cup ONIONS finely chopped, and
1 cup TOMATOES in small dice, with
1 tsp. SALT
1 tsp. CURRY POWDER (optional) in
4 Tbs. OIL or MARGARINE until soft

Add 1 6-lb. DUCKLING, cut up into about 12 pieces

Saute the duckling lightly for 2 or 3 minutes

Add 2 quarts WATER

Cover and simmer for 30 minutes or bake at 350 degrees until duckling is tender

Slightly green bananas or plantains may be simmered with the duckling. Or they may be prepared separately and served as a side vegetable. For this, allow 1/2 banana per portion or 4 large bananas.
