Ingredients

1 1/2 Pounds Brussels sprouts
6 Bacon slices, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
1 Large onion, finely chopped
3 Tablespoons butter, divided
1 1/2 Cups water
1/2 Teaspoon salt

Instructions

Rinse sprouts in a colander and drain. Cut each sprout in half. Place half the sprouts in a food processor and pulse until they resemble homemade slaw; place in a bowl. Repeat with remaining sprouts.
Cook the bacon in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat until lightly browned. Spoon all but a light coating of fat from the pan. Stir the onion and 1 tablespoon of butter into the bacon and drippings.
Cook over medium heat, stirring frequently until onion is softened. Add the sprouts, stir to coat well, then add water, cover and cook over low heat for 5 minutes.
Uncover and raise heat to medium, cooking until sprouts are tender and crisp, adding a few drops of water if necessary to keep the mixture moist. Stir in the remaining butter, add salt and serve.
