Balsamic vinegar may seem like a grown-up ingredient, but its smooth, candied flavour is perfect for little palates.

Ingredients

2 tbsp butter
2 tbsp balsamic vinegar
1 tsp dried oregano
1/2 tsp salt
1/2 tsp black pepper

Partially fill a large saucepan with water. Bring to a boil. Add carrots and cover. Boil gently over medium heat until fork-tender, 10 to 15 min. Drain well in a colander. Return saucepan to heat.
