Mix all the ingredients for the crab cakes, except the olive oil, in a
bowl. Taste carefully and correct the seasoning - it should taste well
seasoned and quite perky. Form the mixture into 10-12 cakes. Coat
first with seasoned flour, then egg and finally breadcrumbs. Put on
to a baking tray lined with silicone paper. chill until firm,
Meanwhile make the coriander cream. Fold the chopped coriander into
the whipped cream, add salt, freshly ground pepper and sugar and the
lemon juice. Taste and add a little more seasoning if necessary.
To serve: heat good quality oil in a deep fryer or in a frying pan.
Cook till the crab cakes are crisp and golden. Drain on kitchen paper
and serve immediately on hot plates with a dollop of coriander cream
and some salsa cruda on the side.
Salsa cruda: Mix all the ingredients together. Season with salt,
pepper and sugar.
