  3. Pour in white wine, scraping the bottom to loosen bits. After simmering for 2-3 minutes, add diced tomatoes, vegetable stock, clam juice, and bay leaf. Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer for 15 minutes.
  4. Add clams and mussels, cover the pot, and cook for 3-4 minutes until shells open.
