1

Soak clams in a bowl with cold water and salt for at least 1 hour to remove sand.

2

Heat a wide pan over medium heat and add 3 tablespoons of olive oil.

3

Once the oil is hot, add the finely chopped garlic and cook for 30 seconds.

4

Add the finely chopped onion and salt to taste; cook for 12 to 15 minutes until the vegetables are soft and translucent.

5

When the onion is well cooked, add the flour and cook while stirring for 1.5 to 2 minutes to remove the raw taste.

6

Add the paprika quickly to avoid burning, then pour in the white wine and cook for 1 minute to evaporate the alcohol.

7

Add the fish stock and stir to integrate, then add the bay leaf; cook on low heat for 2 to 3 minutes until the sauce thickens.

8

Add the drained clams to the pan, cover, and cook for 1 more minute until the clams open.

9

Once the clams have opened, turn off the heat and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley before serving.

10

Serve directly with a good piece of bread for dipping in the sauce.
