Bring the water to a boil in a medium-sized pot and then add in the quinoa and return it to a boil. Cover and simmer on low heat for 12 minutes or until the quinoa is cooked and tender. Keep warm.
In a large sauté pan over low heat, add in the butter and melt.
Next, add in the carrots, celery, onion and mushrooms and cook for 4-6 minutes, or until the vegetables are slightly crunchy. Keep warm.
Once the quinoa is done, transfer it to the sauté pan with vegetables and mix until combined.
Serve in a bowl and add on optional chopped parsley garnish.
