Rinse the quinoa under cold water until the water runs clear.
In a saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the quinoa, reduce the heat to low, cover, and simmer for 15 minutes, or until the quinoa is tender and the water is absorbed.
While the quinoa is cooking, heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the onion and garlic and cook until the onion is soft, about 5 minutes.
Add the chickpeas, carrot, and peas and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the cooked quinoa and season with salt and pepper.
Garnish with the chopped parsley before serving.
