method
1. Preheat the oven to 200°C (400°F) Gas mark 6
2. Heat the oil in a pan, add the onions and cook until soft but not brown, about 10 minutes.
3. Put the onions into a large bowl and mix in all the remaining ingredients.
4. Fill the tin with the venison mixture. Pat down firmly, cover with foil brushed with oil and bake in a shallow tray of water for 1 hour or until the juices run clear when a skewer is inserted.
5. Leave the loaf for 15 minutes before turning it out onto a serving plate, either to eat hot with the sauce or cover and chill until needed.
6. To make the sauce, cook the onion in the oil with the peppers, garlic, chillies and thyme for 5 minutes over a medium heat.
7. Add the carrot juice and season. Cook for 25 minutes over a moderate heat and stir to prevent sticking.
8. Allow to cool and then liquidize. Adjust the seasoning and reheat to serve with the venison loaf.
