Ingredients

1 pound brussels sprouts
3 slices bacon
1 cup water
Coarse salt and ground pepper
Cider vinegar, optional

Directions

1. Trim brussels sprouts; shred in a food processor fitted with a slicing blade. Set aside.
2. In a large nonstick skillet over medium heat, cook bacon until crisp, 4 to 5 minutes; transfer to paper towels to drain.
3. Discard all but 1 tablespoon rendered fat from skillet. Add brussels sprouts and water; season with coarse salt and ground pepper. Reduce heat to medium-low. Cover; cook, stirring occasionally, until sprouts are tender, 20 to 25 minutes (add more water if pan becomes dry).
4. To serve, crumble bacon over sprouts; drizzle with cider vinegar, if desired.
