Dutch to English Other Cooking / Culinary
I've looked at a few recipes for remoulade but can't see what you have to do with the chives here:

Een remoulade is een frisse saus waarin een hardgekookt ei is geprakt. Om te beginnen twee voorgekookte artisjokbodems in kleine blokjes snijden en er bijvoegen: 50 gr in kokend water **geslonken** en gehakte bieslook, een soeplepel mayonaise, een kleine gehakte sjalot, een soeplepel citroensap en een soeplepel olijfolie. En natuurlijk een hardgekookt en geprakt ei.

MoiraB Yes, I've seen the dictionary entry but it doesn't make it sound very appetising. Just wondered if there wasn't a more elegant, 'Delia-friendly' way of describing the process!

wilted

That's the translation of: geslonken, but the term more readily applies to spinach and other vegetables that reduce in size when cooked.

agree Kate Hudson (X) : The chives are put into biling water to "wilt' . This removes any sharp onion flavour

boiled down

the dictionary says "to boil down" for slinken. Anyway, the idea is to make the chives shrink.
