2 green onions, finely chopped
1 cup roasted Hatch chiles, peeled and seeded

Make the Green Chile Sauce
Heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a sauté pan. Add the green onions and sauté until wilted. Add the hatchchiles and heat through. Add the white wine and simmer until almost dry. Add the cream and continue boiling until the mixture is reduced by half. Stir in the lime juice and season with salt and pepper. Transfer the mixture to the blender or food processor and blend until smooth, being cautious that the saucer is hot. Keep the sauce warm until ready to serve.
