Ingredients

1 1/2 to 2 pounds of your choice of the following, or any combination of: "baby" packaged fresh carrots, brussel sprouts, yellow squash (you can also use broccoli, cauliflower and zucchini)
1/2 cup water
1/2 cup balsamic vinegar
1 tablespoon butter
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Chopped parsley leaves, for garnish

Directions

Place veggies in a pan with water and vinegar. Bring to a boil and cover. Reduce heat to medium and cook 10 minutes. Remove lid and raise heat back up. Allow the water to boil away and the vinegar to reduce and glaze the veggies, about 5 to 7 minutes. When the vegetables are glazed, to a sweet, rich brown color add butter to the pan. Turn veggies to coat lightly with butter. Season with salt, pepper and serve. Garnish with parsley.

For an optional glaze for the vegetables, substitute 1/4 melted butter and 1/4 cup honey for 1/2 cup balsamic vinegar. Follow method as listed.

very versatile!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I've used this recipe for years since seeing it on the show. I have reduced the portions by half and this seems to do just... fine with the appropriate amount of vegetables for 2 people. My favorite is on brussel sprouts, but just about anything works well with a good balsamic vinegar!Read more

Could be the type of vinegar you're using
Rated: 3 stars out of 5

I just wanted to comment that really aged vinegar is much sweeter than newer stuff, the type of balsamic you use might make a... huge difference in this recipe. Read more

disappointing
Rated: 1 stars out of 5

the ratio of balsamic to vegetables was way too high and i even halved it. the balsamic was very overpowering. i'd try it... again, but with much, much less balsamic.Read more
