You won't disappoint with this one. Crowder peas are delicious and quintessentially Southern. They are similar to fresh black-eyed peas but differ in look, no distinctive black eye, and their ends are slightly squared from being crowded in their pods - hence their name.
Heat a heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add bacon and cook until partially done, do not drain. Add olive oil, green peppers, onions, carrots, celery, crushed red pepper, bay leaves, and thyme sprigs. Reduce heat to medium and cook until vegetables are soft, about 5 to 10 minutes. Add garlic and cook until fragment. Add peas and stock. Bring up to a boil, then lower heat and let simmer, partially covered for, until peas are tender but not mushy, about 30 to 40 minutes. If there is too much liquid, boil beans for a few minutes to reduce. Remove bay leaves and thyme springs. Stir in fresh parsley. Add salt and pepper to taste. Serve warm over rice.
Makes about 1 quart or 2 to 4 servings.
Also delicious served over slices of white bread.
