Then add balsamic vinegar, here to taste from 2 tbsp.l. to 4, pepper, thyme, salt (I used Adyghe salt), pour in a glass of water. Mix everything, cover and simmer on the lowest heat until ready, mix several times in the process. If the carrot is cut into thin slices, it will cook faster. Do not cut into thick rings, otherwise you will have to add water. Make sure that it does not burn, because there is sugar there.
