Leave space between them so moisture can escape. Turn once the ivory face has a golden crust, then finish with shallots and a little butter. Set the halves over soft polenta and spoon the shallot butter into the folds of the polenta.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFor a barley dish, cut the larger stems into small cubes and sauté them first.
