- Add sausage and brown.
- Add remaining ingredients and bring to boil. Reduce to simmer.
- Add rice when done and stir to combine.
- To make the Hoppin' John more flavorful, use a variety of bell peppers and onions. For example, you could use a green bell pepper, a red bell pepper, and a yellow bell pepper. You could also use a white onion, a yellow onion, and a red onion.
- If you don't have any fresh parsley, you can use dried parsley. However, fresh parsley will give your Hoppin' John a much better flavor.
- If you're using canned black-eyed peas, be sure to rinse them thoroughly before adding them to the pot. This will help to remove any excess salt and starch.
