Broil or grill the green onions until they are lightly charred. Let them cool, then chop them and add them to the work bowl of a food processor fitted with a steel blade (or use a blender).
Add all the remaining ingredients except the dissolved Glace de Viande Gold® or Glace de Poulet Gold® and process until the mixture is smooth.
Transfer the purée to a medium saucepan and whisk in the stock. Bring the sauce to a simmer over medium heat and cook until it is reduced by half, about 20 minutes.
