Cut the tomatoes into large wedges, skins and seeds left in.
Heat the olive oil in a wide pan and soften the onion in it.
Add the crushed garlic and the whole green chillies and warm them a minute.
Tip in the tomatoes, salt them and stew over a medium heat, stirring now and then.
Crush the tomatoes with a spoon once the skins start to lift from the flesh.
Reduce it fifteen minutes more, until the oil rises at the edges as a separate layer.
Scatter with dried mint and serve it in the pan with flatbread.
