Beet Tartlets
Description
Perfect for the table and with drinks. If you prefer beet tartlets with a garlic flavor, prepare the filling in advance and keep it in the refrigerator, filling the shortcrust pastry shells only when serving, so they don't get soggy! The dish is perfect even for vegetarian meals. Serve with greens and sauce.

Step 4
Carefully fill the tartlets with the beet mixture. For a holiday table, buy shortcrust tartlets rather than waffle ones — they soften more slowly.
