If I had those ingredients, I'd take a completely different approach (and wouldn't bother with the quinoa, as I think it tastes like styrofoam packing peanuts). Cook the purplehull peas with a little smoked meat (or substitute smoked mushrooms, if you're vegan) and serve over rice (quinoa) as the entree, roast the parsnips & carrots as a side,

this is what I always do, just looking to do something a little different

I would not apply the word jambalaya to "any old thing mixed w/a rice or grain".

well the inspiration for this came from John Folse's vegetable jambalaya recipe in his cookbook "Can You Dig It", I would just substitute quinoa for the rice, which is my wife's fault, as she is the one that bought it and said "make something with this"
