1
Brown the clams deeply in the Olive Oil in a heavy pot — patience here pays off later.
2
Remove it, then let the onion and garlic soften in the drippings with the smoked paprika.
3
Return the clams, add the stock and bay leaves, and bring to the gentlest simmer.
4
Cover and braise low and slow until the clams yields to a spoon, about 45 minutes.
5
Skim the fat, reduce the sauce to a glaze, and serve with something starchy to catch every drop.

Chef's tip

Skim the fat from the surface before the final reduction for a cleaner sauce.
