     meat and vegetables are tender, about 30 minutes longer.

     1/2 teaspoon rosemary, remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and   
     remaining 2 tablespoon flour. Add cold water and   
     vinegar; stir until smooth. Stir into stew. Bring to a   
     boil; add peas. Cook, stirring, until thickened, about 2   
     minutes. If desired, top with additional fresh rosemary.
