Wash
the razor clams in cold water to clean them of any impurities.

Drain the cooking liquid, passing it through a fine strainer. Take out
the edible part of the clams. Wash them again in cold water. Cut into
small pieces.
Place a deep pan on the flame. Put the olive oil in the pan and let it
warm up. Add the minced onions and the bay leaf.
Meanwhile, take the stem off the tomatoes and scald them in boiling
water to make it easier to peel and deseed them.
Add them to the deep pan but do not let them brown. Stir with a wooden
spoon. Add the liquid in which the clams were opened. Season with salt
and pepper. Boil.
Add the clams and the fine pasta or rice.
After the pasta has been cooked, add the beaten eggs. Stir with a
metal beater.
Add a few drops of lemon juice and the chopped parsley and coriander.
Hint:
After boiling the razor clams and taking of the shells, pay attention
to the fact that the guts are sometimes full of sand. Which makes it
necessary to wash the edible part carefully.
