Preparation
- Step 1
In a large bowl, gently combine the crab meat, rice, jalapenos, lemon zest, basil and mint. Carefully stir in the salt, pepper, eggs and bread crumbs, breaking up the crab meat as little as possible. Using 1 tablespoon of the mixture at a time, press into cakes that are a scant 2 inches in diameter.
- Step 2
Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, cook the crab cakes until nicely browned and firm, about 1½ minutes per side. Add more oil to the skillet as needed between batches. Serve hot.

The name of the recipe calls for coriander but I don't see it on the ingredient list. Should it be there?
I'm hesitant to admit this, but because we love fresh crabmeat so much and don't like much filler in our crabcakes, I omitted the basmati rice, but the other flavors were divine. I served them on a bed of spicy greens with sliced tomatoes and avocadoes and chopped cilantro and scallions, with a little dollop of sriracha aioli on top.
