  Discard bay leaves. In a small bowl, combine remaining
  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.
