Dutch term or phrase: geslonken
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.

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

boiled down


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

disagree  Kate Hudson (X): The chives are put into boiling water for a few seconds to 'wilt' them (this makes them limp and removes any sharp onion flavour
