BEET SAUCE

4 SERVINGS LACTO Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Cut layered sheets of phyllo into four squares. Separate dough into individual layers. Working quickly so sheets don't dry out, layer 4 squares, brushing each square with egg wash. Repeat with remaining sheets so you have four layered squares.

In center of each square, place ½ tablespoon goat cheese, 2 slices red beets, 2 slices golden beers, 1 spinach leaf and ½ teaspoon lentils.

Lightly drizzle with balsamic vinegar.

Fold corners of dough over filling and secure with toothpick. Transfer to baking sheet. Bake until crispy, about 15 minutes. Meanwhile, make sauce.

In small saucepan, combine juices and vinegar. Cook over medium high heat until reduced and thickened, 3 to 4 minutes. Serve beet sauce with goat cheese tartlers.
