Heat oil in a fry pan over med-high heat. Sear the venison in batches, turning to brown on both sides. Remove from heat and place venison and cooking juices into a medium-sized ovenproof casserole dish with a lid.

Reduce pan to low heat. Add extra oil to the pan if necessary, then cook onion and garlic until soft. Add chipotle paste, cumin, coriander, oregano, tomatoes and beef stock to the pan. Bring to the boil then pour mixture into casserole dish. Press a piece of baking paper onto the surface of the venison and liquid and cover with casserole dish lid. Bake in preheated oven for 1 hour.

Stir in black beans and cook for a further 30-60 mins until the venison is very tender. Remove from the oven and stir in coriander.

To prepare salsa, combine tomatoes, chilli, lime juice and coriander in a small bowl. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve the chilli with salsa, sour cream, grated cheese and corn chips.
