- Salt - to taste
- Ground Black Pepper - to taste

Step by Step guide
Step 1
Bring lightly salted water to a boil and add the peas. Reduce the heat and cook for 4-10 minutes until the peas are tender.
Step 2
Drain most of the water, leaving 2 cups in the pot. Bring to a boil again, season with salt to taste, and add the quinoa. When the water boils, reduce the heat, cover, and cook for 15 minutes until the quinoa is tender.
Step 3
Drain the water, cover with a clean towel and lid, and let sit for 15 minutes.
Step 4
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet, add the leek and garlic, season with salt, and cook for 3-5 minutes until softened, stirring occasionally.
Step 5
Add the quinoa and peas, and mix with the remaining olive oil, cooking for another 2 minutes, stirring gently to avoid mashing the peas. Add the herbs, pepper, and serve.
