Instructions
1. Preheat the oven to 200°C.
2. Cook the quinoa as per the instructions on the packet and leave to cool.
3. Next heat the olive oil in a pan and thinly slice the leeks. Once the oil is hot add the leek to the pan and mince in the garlic cloves. Sauté until soft and then add the salt, pepper, rosemary, chickpeas and chestnuts and leave to cook over a medium heat for 5-10 minutes.

6. Once the filling has cooled down slightly, whisk up the eggs and add them to the filling. Then pour the filling into the base of the pie and bake in the oven at 180°C for 20-25 minutes until set.
