Firstly, slow braise the haunch to the point where the fat and sinew breaks down.
Remove the meat from the braise and reserve. Reduce the braising liquor to produce a near glaze adjusting seasoning to be on the high side.
Pick down the meat and add the glaze bit by bit to a point when the meat holds together.
As it cools further roll the meat into a sausage shape and allow to cool for 24hrs.
Peel the butternut squash, cook half for a puree, dice the other half and par boil.
Puree the well-cooked squash in thermomix or similar add no butter only salt and pepper.
Peel the baby carrots and par boil.
Reserve the diced squash for later along with the carrots.
Sear the venison loin in a hot pan, when browned add the diced squash and the carrots to the pan then into the oven at 190oc for around 5 minutes.
