Method

1 Preheat the oven to 180ºC (160ºC fan) mark 4. Heat the oil in a hob-proof casserole and fry the onion for 10min until softened. Add vegetables and fry for 5min. Add garlic and cook for 1min.

2 Stir in the paprika, tomato purée and 1tbsp flour. Cook for 1min, then pour in stock - the vegetables should be just covered. Add the bay
leaf. Cover the casserole and cook in the oven for 20min.

3 Sift the remaining flour, baking powder and ¼tsp salt into a large bowl. Stir in the suet, herbs, horseradish and about 75ml (3fl oz) iced water
to make a soft dough. Shape into eight balls and place on top of the stew. Cover and return to the oven for 15min. Remove lid and cook for 5min.
