1 large shallot, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 garlic clove
1 jalapeño, seeds removed and cut into ½-inch pieces
1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
¼ cup white wine

garlic, jalapeño and a pinch of the salt. Stir and sauté until softened and
slightly browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in reserved chiles and heat through
for about a minute. Stir in white wine. Scrape any bits that are clinging
