Ingredients

½ pound dried black-eyed peas, sorted and rinsed
3 cups water
½ teaspoon dried oregano
½ teaspoon dried thyme
1 bay leaf
½ cup long-grain brown rice
1 ½ tablespoons olive oil
1 cup diced onion
¾ cup diced celery
¾ cup diced yellow bell pepper
¾ cup diced red bell pepper
1 medium jalapeno pepper, seeded and minced
1 tablespoon minced garlic
½ (14 ounce) can chopped tomatoes
2 ½ tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
½ teaspoon salt
¼ teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

Bring water and beans to a boil in a large pot. Remove pot from heat, cover, and let stand for 1 hour. Drain and rinse before using.
Place black-eyed peas, water, oregano, thyme, and bay leaf in a large pot; bring to a boil. Cover, reduce heat to low, and simmer for 40 minutes. Add rice, cover, and simmer until the black-eyed peas and rice are tender, 30 to 40 minutes.
Meanwhile, heat olive oil in a nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Saute onion until lightly browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Add celery, bell peppers, and jalapeno; saute for an additional 5 minutes. Add garlic and saute for 2 minutes more.
When the black-eyed peas are tender, add the sauteed vegetable mixture, tomatoes, parsley, salt, pepper, and cayenne pepper, and stir well to combine. Cover and set aside to allow the flavors to blend, 5 to 10 minutes. Taste and adjust seasonings, if needed.

Tips:

Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: This will ensure that your Hoppin' John is packed with flavor. Look for fresh black-eyed peas, bell peppers, onions, and celery.
Soak the black-eyed peas overnight: This will help to soften them and reduce the cooking time. If you don't have time to soak them overnight, you can quick-soak them by boiling them in water for 1 minute, then removing them from the heat and letting them sit for 1 hour.
Cook the Hoppin' John slowly: This will allow the flavors to develop and meld together. Simmer the Hoppin' John for at least 1 hour, or until the black-eyed peas are tender.
Season the Hoppin' John well: Don't be afraid to add plenty of salt, pepper, and other spices to your Hoppin' John. This will help to bring out the flavors of the dish.
Serve the Hoppin' John with your favorite sides: Hoppin' John is traditionally served with rice, collard greens, and cornbread. However, you can also serve it with other sides, such as mashed potatoes, roasted vegetables, or a salad.

Conclusion:

Hoppin' John is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for any occasion. It is a great way to use up leftover black-eyed peas, and it is also a healthy and affordable meal. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy vegan recipe, give Hoppin' John a try. You won't be disappointed!
