1Layer the onion, garlic, tomatoes and potatoes in a wide clay pot.
2Season each layer with salt, paprika and olive oil.
3Add the water and simmer covered 20 minutes until the potatoes are nearly done.
4Add the razor clams and cook 8 minutes — they open and release their brine.
5Scatter the coriander, rest 5 minutes and serve in deep bowls with the broth.

Chef's Tip

  • Razor clams go in last and briefly: 8 minutes opens them without rubberizing.
More tips ↓
  • Their brine is the seasoning — salt only after they open and taste.
  • The potatoes thicken the broth as they release starch into the brine.
