4. Add the grated carrot and chopped pepper to the pan and cook for a few minutes until tender.
5. Add the crushed tomato, tomato paste, oregano, cumin, salt and pepper. Mix all the ingredients well and cook over low heat for about 10 minutes, so that the flavors mix.

7. Pour the meat mixture over the dough in the tart pan.
8. Cover the cake with another sheet of shortcrust pastry or puff pastry, sealing the edges well.
9. Make a few small slits in the top of the dough to allow steam to escape while baking.
