In the Tree House Restaurant - a cluster of huts perched on stilts over a lake - fairgoers can choose from foods of 23 African nations.  Huts are festooned with spears and shields, and the windows look out on flamingoes and monkeys.  Spotted giraffes are on view from the bar.*

MOAMBA
African Chicken-Peanut Stew**

Two 4-pound chickens, disjointed
6 cups water
1 & 1/2 cups ground peanuts
1 cup chopped onions
1 & 1/2 pounds sweet potatoes, peeled and quartered
8 hard-cooked eggs, shelled
4 cups hot cooked rice

Wash the chicken pieces and combine in a saucepan with the water.  Bring to a boil and cook over medium heat 45 minutes.  Add the peanuts, onions, and sweet potatoes.  Cover loosely and cook over low heat 45 minutes longer or until chicken is tender.

The moamba is traditionally served in deep plates.  Place a hard-cooked egg in each, cover the egg with some rice, and put some chicken and gravy over the top.  Served with side dishes of diced cucumber, chutney, and sliced bananas.

8 Servings.
