Steps

Read instructions and get ready to cook

1
Rinse quinoa

Rinse the quinoa under cold running water in a fine-mesh strainer.

2
Cook quinoa

In a medium saucepan, combine the rinsed quinoa and water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer until the quinoa is tender and has absorbed the water, about 15 minutes.

3
Prepare vegetables

While the quinoa cooks, zest and juice the lemon. Finely chop the fresh parsley.

4
Cook peas

In a separate small saucepan, bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add the frozen green peas and cook until tender, about 3-4 minutes. Drain the peas.

5
Combine ingredients

In a large bowl, combine the cooked quinoa, cooked peas, lemon zest, lemon juice, olive oil, chopped parsley, salt, and black pepper. Stir to combine.

6
Serve

Taste the quinoa and adjust the seasoning with additional salt and pepper, if needed. Serve the quinoa with green peas warm or at room temperature.
