- Add the tomato paste and cook until it colors. Also add the chipotle peppers.
- Then sprinkle the flour over and stir to make a roux.
- Next, add the wine and stock to the pan and let it simmer slowly for about 3.5 hours or until the meat is tender.
- Remove the venison, reduce the sauce until thickened. Shred the venison with two forks and mix it with the thickened sauce.
- Heat all the ingredients together and blend until smooth.
- Cut the corn from the cob into pieces and then char with a torch. Alternatively, you can roll the corn over a hot grill to roast it and then cut it into pieces.

- Garnish with the plum-chili sauce, crème fraîche, some more corn, jalapeños, and fresh lime wedges.
