FatSteak street food doesn't always need to be meat and bread with some deep fried action going on (though this does always appeal!). This dish is a fresh little number, pretty much healthy but still packs all the good things that make you go mmm.

It has been adapted from a recipe for prawn tacos in Death by Buritto, a great book worthy of a place in any cookbook enthusiasts collection.

One of the stars and bonuses of this dish is the confit tomatoes and the oil that's left over. They go great with all sort of dishes and the oil is perfect for adding to dishes, drizzling over some pasta or using in a salad dressing.

Step 1 - Confit your tomatoes

Heat the oven to 100C
Cut the tomatoes in half and put in a baking dish, cut side up until full
Fill with oil until covered
Evenly sprinkle with salt and sugar
Cover with fresh thyme and dried oregano
Leave in the oven for a few hours, checking occasionally. Remove when they start to shrivel. Don't let them burn though!
When finished, pop in an air-tight sterilised jar
Once cooled this can be kept in the fridge for at least a week

Step 2 - Make the pink mayo

On a hob, reduce the pomegranate juice down to a thick syrup, pour into a jam jar and let cool
Add the mayo and mix well
Add the lime juice and mix again
#Tip: Make it all in a jam jar to start with rather than in a ramekin and then into a jar like in the photos!

Step 3 - Prep the greens

Slice up the lettuce
Cut an avo in half, remove the skin and stone then slice

Step 4 - Cook the prawns

Heat up a heavy based frying pan
Slice a red chilli
Add a splash of oil to the pan
Throw in the chilli and prawns and cook until just warm through

Step 5 - That's a wrap

Take your wrap, some taste better being warmed through in the oven first
Add a layer of lettuce down the middle
Drizzle some of the pink mayo
Lay pieces of avo down the middle
Place tomatoes on top
Add a row of prawns ensuring you get some of the chilli with it
Finally, add a sprinkling of pomegranate seeds over it.
Let your eagerly awaiting diners wrap it up themselves, everyone has their own way.
