Season with plenty of salt and pepper then add the beer, vegetable stock, paprika, oregano, rosemary and thyme sprigs and bay leaf. Bring to a simmer and cook for 20-30 minutes until the liquid has reduced and the vegetable are cooked.
- While the stew simmers put the flour, baking powder and butter in a large bowl with plenty of salt and pepper and rub the butter into the flour. Stir in the cheese.
