Not suggesting this to go with your coq au vin, but have you ever tried
brussels sprouts coleslaw? It works well either as a creamy or a
vinegar/oil slaw. Also good with bacon grease and vinegar. Shred raw
about 1/8-1/4 inch wide or a mixture of sizes. Chop some scallions or
shallots, and perhaps a minced clove of garlic.
