Somali Crab Meat Stew

This is a nice quick stew with my favorite seafood ( crabmeat). Good flavors and very healthy too. I usually just use parsley instead of the cilantro here,but the orignial recipe calls for cilantro. This is from The Lands of Figs and Olives by Habeeb Salloum and James Peters.
