Preparation
Step 1
In a bowl combine well the wine, the paprika, the bay leaf, 1/4 teaspoon of the salt, the black pepper, and the garlic, add the pork, and let it marinate at room temperature for 2 hours.
Drain the pork, reserving the marinade, and pat it dry.
In a large heavy skillet heat 1 tablespoon of the lard over high heat until it is hot but not smoking, in it brown the pork, turning it, for 7 minutes, or until it is just cooked through, and transfer it with a slotted spoon to another bowl.
Add to the skillet the remaining 1 tablespoon lard and in it cook the onions and the green pepper over moderately low heat, stirring, until they are softened.
Add the reserved marinade, the tomatoes, the remaining 1/2 teaspoon salt, and the cayenne and simmer the mixture for 5 minutes.
Add the clams, simmer the mixture, covered, for 5 minutes, or until the clams are opened, and discard any unopened ones.
Add the pork, simmer the mixture for 3 minutes, and sprinkle it with the coriander, the parsley, and freshly ground pepper to taste.
Serve the pork and clams with the limes.
