1 cup Quinoa
1 Leek, sliced
3-4 Garlic cloves, minced.
1 Carrot, diced.
2 Zucchini, diced
1 cup Button Mushrooms, diced.
1 bunch Dinosaur Kale (or other leafy green), coarsely chopped.
1 cup Garbanzo beans
1 Tomato, coarsely chopped.
Pinch dried Oregano
Salt and Pepper to taste
Olive Oil
Juice of half a lemon
1 handful pinenuts

1
In a saucepan, boil 2 1/2 cups of water. Reduce heat to medium, add quinoa, a dash of salt, and let simmer with the lid half-on. The quinoa will take about 30 minutes, when the grain is translucent with a spiral-like germ.
2
In the meantime, heat some olive oil in a frying pan. Saute the leeks and most of the garlic until softened. Add carrots. After a few minutes, add the mushrooms and zucchini. Season with the oregano and salt and pepper to taste. When softened, transfer to a large bowl.
3
In the same pan, without wiping any of the juices, sautee the remaining garlic and add the kale, turning it often. Add the tomatoes. Season with a dash of salt and pepper, and some of the lemon juice. Transfer to the bowl with the rest of the cooked veggies.
4
Add the garbanzo beans and toss. Add the quinoa about a cup at a time. Toss in the pinenuts. Check salt and pepper taste. Drizzle with some remaining olive oil and some lemon juice, if desired.
5
Done!
