A hearty and flavorful stew featuring black-eyed peas and crispy bacon, perfect for a comforting meal.
Cook the bacon in a saucepan until crispy, then remove and crumble.
Cook the bacon over medium heat to render the fat evenly and avoid burning.
Sauté the celery, onion, green bell pepper, and garlic in the bacon drippings until softened.
Stir frequently to prevent the vegetables from sticking to the pan.
Add the black-eyed peas, stewed tomatoes, parsley, salt, and pepper to the saucepan.
Mix well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed.
Simmer the mixture over medium heat until thoroughly heated, stirring occasionally.
Cover the saucepan partially to retain moisture while allowing some evaporation.
Serve the stew hot, garnished with crumbled bacon and fresh parsley if desired.
Pair with crusty bread or cornbread for a complete meal.
